Chords with lyrics
Lanterns - Benny Tipene
A augmentedA lot of this was worked out by ear (including the lyrics) so it my not be 100% correct, but I really love
this song and it sounds pretty good.
Feel free to use different chords if you think it sounds better:)
This song is mainly picking but still strum-friendly.
You can also use FF instead of Fmaj7Fmaj7 if it's easier.
