Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
Difficulty: Intermediate
Thrice - Stumbling West
I know it says intermediate in the description, but only for the less common chord voicings I added to spice
it up a little for single-guitarist performance. It works just as well if you ignore them and just play the
top set of chords, I just think it sounds a little more interesting with some variation.
I personally play this in Nashville tuning (just the octave strings from a 12 string) but it sounds just fine
in Standard.
The chords in parentheses are also optional.
