Chance
View chords used in this chart
Chance is fairly easy to figure out if you just want the basic chords,
don't have exact tab for it though.
Lets see then...for example
A- G
All the rain came down on a cold new town
F C
As he carried you away
A- G
From your father's hand that always seemed like a fist
F C
Reaching out to make you pay
And then, the chorus goes something like...
C G C G F
Oh Lord
C G C G F
Oh I never felt so low
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I myself have long searched for Big
Country tabs, let me know if you have any luck.
