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!
The song plays the verse with a varied E7 chord as the iii in the progression which I've
notated below, however you can play an Em and it will sound fine. The Am in the verse
is played as a barre chord, but in the chorus it's open. In the pre-chorus the C and F
are also barre chords, which I've notated below, but elsewhere they are played in the
standard open and 1st fret barre chord positions respectively

Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair

Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
