Arranged by: Funkynic
Tuning: Standard
watch the video but it may help some people with the timing. Also I tried my
best to get the most accurate chord names but I couldn't find the last two
chords in any book or online chord finder so I just named them after the root
note. If anyone has the correct chord names please send it to the e-mail above.
Additional note: I dont use the same exact chords in the video.
