My Soul is Empty and Full of White Girls - Slaves (US)
Chords by ofshothefirst
I've put this together from my own singing and looking what bassists have been playing.
The original is in Drop A with which isn't all that convient, so you can use these chords with a capo
whatever suits you.
There's a couple of chord bits I've gone into more technical inversions and slash chords
which I've most likely named wrongly...
Heres the fretting you can use on the weird ones.
G/B, C7, G/D, Em9/D
