Lanterns chords by Benny Tipene

Lanterns - Benny Tipene

A 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 F instead of Fmaj7 if it's easier.

    C                 G                   Em                 Fmaj7

All we need is a little bit of faith that this wait will never take you
