Artist: Boy & Bear
Song: Mexican Mavis
EP: With Emperor Antartica
Sounds best using bar chords except for the E (major) chord. You may want to play along
with the song first to get some of the timings correct. Of course, you can arpeggiate
these chords to get a more similar sound to what Boy and Bear are playing. If you're
playing the chords, you can palm mute during most of the verse apart from the last line and
the chorus.
