Luke Bryan, "We Run This Town"
Here are the chord fingering that I use. I do not use a Dbm for poor theory, but
rather to note the different fingerings. This song is divided between acoustic and
electric guitar, the first verse and the bridge are acoustic, but the rest of the
song is played with power chords on an electric.
