Darren Criss - Back To Hogwarts

back to hogwarts

hey , this is kind of an augmentation of another tab posted anonymously ,
otherwise i would totally credit him or her . . . but i worked a lot off of
that , and i also cross referenced with a video of darren playing the song
live which you can find here :

keep in mind that this tab is probably not in tune to the actual musical
version , so you can’t play along with it , but it works all the way through
for the video i linked to . there are also a few weird chords throughout the
song that i’ll tab out at the top , and it might be a little hard to master
if you’re just beginning .

i’ll mark any of these “weird chords” with an asterisk *
sorry if it’s not 100% it’s my first time making one .
