These are the chords I have come up with for Petite Mort (so far).
I really like this song, but unfortunately there aren't any tabs or chords online.
What you see here I have figured out by ear. I'm sure I made mistakes.
I'm hoping that this will give more talented musicians than I a place to start from.
Maybe together we can figure the whole thing out!
Note: The chords in this song change quickly, especially during the verse.
Tuning: Down One Half Step
All chords shapes relative to tuning (when it says C, you play it like a C in
first position but it's really a B)
