Afinação: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb EbCapotraste: Sem capotraste
I adapted this version from the piano version played by Roger Waters during his This Is
Not A Drill tour.
I specifically used the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbuPRdARHMo.
The song sounds better/closer to the original with a guitar tuned one full step down
(DGCFAD).
In addition, I am unsure about the choice (and name) of the Gm6 chord, but IMO it sounds
similar to 320030.
