Climbing The Walls chords by They Might Be Giants

CAPO 3

- You can play a D chord on Capo 3 to get an
idea for the pitch to make it a bit easier than
starting off on a lone voice note.

-This song is pretty easy if you know all basic Major and Minor chords.
If A/C# is too hard, just play an A without the lower two strings. xx3330
