Tillman writes simple yet complex songs in terms of rhythm and hammer-on's so I
advice you to listen to the song to get both right.
This might not be 75% accurate but I've been playing it with the track/youtube
recordings etc and I think it sounds great
I'm not a chord freak so I'm not sure which is which . . . . . that's why I'm
gonna define them with slightly orthodox names.
the small x stands for idk what the real chord is . . . . so cut me some slack.
E : 023030 (Em6 variation ?)
Ex: 003030
G : 300003
G/C : 302013
D : 000231
Am : 002210 => Ah: 002010 => A: 002210
C : 032010
