That's it! Listen to the song, it's super easy, but beautiful.
The Reliques are an amazing folk rock duo. This is the first song I ever heard of theirs, and has become a
favorite in our church youth group. The chords are directly from a tutorial they used to have on their site,
but the page is no longer available.
If you have 2 guitars, when the 2nd comes in, it follows the same patterns,
but different chords with capo on 9th fret. I only play with 1, so I haven't taken time
to figure out the 2nd yet. Perhaps someday, or perhaps someone else will come behind and
add it! I was surprised no one had already uploaded this amazing song.
