Hi everyone, here are the chords to Casa Forte by Edu Lobo, the opening track of his
1969 album,
Cantiga de Longe. The song revolves around two main sections, which I labelled verse and
chorus,
each a half-step apart from the other.
To make it sound more Brazilian, I decided to tune the lower string to D and to have the
chords
suggestion or
inquiry, have fun!
