Hey, If You Have More Than Five Minutes To
Learn This Song Then I Would Strongly Advise
Using The Recommended Chord Shapes. They’ll
Make The Changes Much Smoother For You As A
Player And Give The Song A Much More Clean And
Fluid Sound.
I’ve Also Tried To Include The
Chords I’ve Seen Marcus King Use Himself In
Videos Of Him Playing The Song So The Chords
I’ve Written Down Might Be Helpful If You’d
Like To Get As Close To His Style As Possible.
Just Look Out For An Asterisk * Next To A Chord
To Know When To Refer Back To Them.
