this song is easy chord – wise , but the order the chords are played in is confusing . when
it first starts off , it starts on a very low F , then progresses up . for example , on the
first line you play a low F , then go up to Am , then up to C , then Dm , and the next F .
you stop going higher on “stone” , and play down , but stay on that octave until the next
verse ( then you start over ) .
* * * * also , in the chorus i couldn’t figure out what the note name was for the other chord
on “pancake” . i put a star buy it; you basically play A Cm but instead of the last note
being A G , its replaced with a play G flat .
email me with any questions if this is confusing ( sorry if it is!! )
