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!
Key of C minor
Note: The bass plays C throughout. The chords in this
tab are written out without the C added to the bottom
of each one. IMHO the song works well on guitar either
with or without the C notes played on the bass.
Alternative version: capo 3rd fret, transpose
this chart -3 and play chords in the key of A minor.
(The bass note throughout for the capo version is A.)
