Chords with lyrics
Done in standard. If you want to do it truly as Voltaire does, just use the transpose
tool :)
For the A7A7 and DmDm at the end of each line of the verse, just quickly strum each one of
them once. Listen to the song for the rhythm. I recommend fingerpicking everything
besides the A7A7 DmDm I mentioned earlier and the chorus.
