Song: A augmentedA Half Built House
Artist: We Were Promised Jetpacks
Album: These Four Walls
I divided the song into two parts: "Intro" has the high downward riffs, and "Outro" has
the strummed chords.
Some of the transition A#6s in the outro change place in the actual song, and the
fingering might be slightly different, but it sounds pretty close.
