Heartsigh
View chords used in this chart
First track from the new album 'Another Eternity'. I figured out these chords really on piano, but I also
tried them and they work for guitar, too. If you want to play it on the guitar using easier chords, you
can transpose it down four (4) and then place a
Capo on the 4th fret. Listen to the record for timing,
it is a bit unique. As always, comments, corrections, suggestions, etc. are always welcome. Cheers.
