View chords used in this chart
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
*Note: For most of these chords they play the E barre shape so D on 10, Bm on 7 etc.
I like using the A shaped barre chords personally though.
Also, not certain but they may do it in drop D. It sounds fine in standard tuning
to me though.
