After The Fall
View chords used in this chart
Capo on 1
I play the D, G, and A this way out of preference, I find it an easier swap from the Bm to a barre G and from
the barre G to a barre A, and the D just sounds higher in the song, so I play it higher up the frets, feel free
to use a regular D, G, and A chord, it'll sound basically the same.
Listen to the song and you'll get a pretty quick feeling of how the strumming goes.
The intro Bm is only played for a short time, listen and you'll hear it.
