Band: The Killers
Song: Mr Brightside
Tabber: James Simmons
Comments: Quite an old song now but i play this acoustically and it sounds
so good. I put a capo on fret 2 because it suits my voice but it can be played
without.

Chords:
              eadgbe
        (xx0230)
    (x40230)
          (3x0230)
         (x20230)
        (x02230)

it doesnt take a genius to work out this song is based around the shape and sound
of Dsus2 as every chord is shaped around the (xx0230)


[Intro/Verse 1]

this is repeated throughout the intro as well as verse 1, the chords are tabbed
below for those that wish to strum
