Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Tuning: Standard
The intro, verse and chorus all uses some finger picking based around the same 4 chord progression.
Listen to the song to get a feel for the picking and timing, but generally he's hitting the root note
then the top two or three strings. I haven't shown the exact picking because he mixes it up a bit so
just play around with it.

I've been writing in the book that your mother gave me, last christmas
C Am Em F
I had to take another look over my shoulder, again

I climb up to the mountaintop
Em F
Climb up to the mountaintop
C Am Em F
And I'll walk across the valleys, for you.

There's a sea of faces under the streetlight, if only they knew

From the bars to the backstreets, to the bars of a cave
