Chords: So for the most part, the chords in this song aren't too crazy; just your garden variety open and bar chords like C, Em, F, Fm,and Gm, but there are some very awesome and easy but somewhat unconventional chords in this song that make it BEAUTIFUL. They are... Fdimadd9: Aaug11: and Dm7b5: EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe 1--00x x0---0 x----x -2---- ---2-- -5-5-- --3--- --3-3- --6-6- //I'm pretty sure I've got the chord symbols right O_o Those three are the only really funky chords I've noticed.
