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!
For reference I used the live version, seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z889g0-iDsM
Notes:
*This is how he plays the chords in the video. They're easier to change to and from in the instrumental parts
for the tempo at which the song is played. Used in the first part of the outro.
**Sounds basically the same, except it's much easier to just slide your fingers over to D9. Used in the
second part of the outro.
***Play D7 and in the last bar strum D7 once, then pick the 3rd and 5th frets on the high E string.
In the chorus you may want to strum the Em and B7 only once, but I'd say it's up to you.
I'm pretty sure it's not exact so I'd really appreciate any corrections.

[Verse 1]
G GM7 G6 CM#11 G
