Instead of the dreaded ‘E’ chord, I used e 7 so there wouldn’t be an awkward pause between Am and the other…….It works for me, it sounds basically the same but just easier to transition
OH MY G- I LOVE THIS SONG *headbangs into wall*
No! Why would you do that ‘truelivesofthefaboulousphangirls’?!? It doesn’t sound right.
The way I like to sing it works well with either -5 or even +5
I did the same thing before reading the comments and maybe they did it because E is absolutely impossible to play?!?! It does sound better in my opinion, but you do you ‘Heythatsprettygood’.
E7 works best for this song
Anyone know the strumming pattern?
I’m afraid you got some if the lyrics wrong, instead of “god damn arms race” its “gah dah ah rah” *haha kill me*
