Hold Me Fast Psalm 139 Acústico Cifra por Aaron Shust
In the instrumental part and between verses the G Em and C chords also add the A note on the third string. Other than that, just have fun with a simple fingerpicking pattern. The original can be found on Youtube at https://youtu.be/wmog7XnUa7M?si=gjn2M-KOrbcEwttR.
