amazing song! passenger has done really well getting josh pyke on this song; josh pyke
the most amazing musician to ever live . so this is the way mike plays it ( i would tab
but his is a bit harder to get . ) the video shows the chords josh plays , so if you really
to play it that way , its pretty much the same chord , but just a different variation ( i
and i’m not 100% sure on mike’s variation of G , but this one sounds fine . but yeah , it’s
awesome song . here are the chords –
