NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOXES the website might
automatically suggest and use the voicings shown below in text:
= x022xx = 022100
* = 3200xx = x02010
= 1300xx * = x-x-x-10-9-8 or xx311x
= 133211 * = x-x-x-10-8-7 or xx300x
= 355433 = 133111
=
N.C. = No chor
=
ds
Optionally, F, G, Am, Am7, E could be played as power chords:
= 133xxx = 355xxx = 577xxx = 022xxx
The Fm to G7/F are more effective as the higher voiced arpeggios
shown in the chord legend above, but I've also included a much
easier 1st inversion option (tablature of this version shown
right at the bottom of the main tab) or strum as the full chords
with the option indicated without asterixes.

Came her last

And it was cle

The candles bl

The curtains f
