I love this song but I would change the Bm to a D instead because it sounds more like the tune. xx
Hey. I find this easier turned down -2. Thanks for putting the song on 🙂
Easiest +5
if you are struggling with this, try Am, F, C and G
Instead of Gmaj7, I preferred using just G
It’s easiest on +5
I just changed the Gmaj7 to a G and it sounded awesome!!
This is quite nice…. mhmm
