View chords used in this chart
These chords are from the original version of Christina that Kitten released in
like 2011ish. (I think it's on their myspace.) The new version is a lot quicker
but this one is slower and more sad, it's pretty easy and the same chords throughout.
No Capo, standard tuning.
