Hippo Campus - The Halocline
Chords Used - E C#m A
E - x79997 and 022100 **
C#m - x46654
A - x02220
*Note: The opening guitar lick is played throughout the verses and chorus. If you listen to the song, you
will know when the riff is played and when just chords are played. The riff repeats itself over and over
when it is played.
**Note: The E chord is used throughout the entire song, and for every part. For the verses, though, use the
barre chord E up on the seventh fret. Later in the song for the more intense "this is our home" part, use
open E. It sound the best this way and is what it sounds like on the recording.
