These are the chords for Langhorne Slim's fairly new song off his latest album 'Be
Set Free'. This is the way he plays it at his live shows, and it sounds correct,
but if you have any questions/comments/concerns/whatever look on my profile for my
email. It's a very simple song to play with almost the easiest chord progression
imaginable, but again, it's the lyrics that makes this song awesome. Anyways,
enjoy!
Also, note that the G is played with the ring finger on the 3rd fret of the B
string just like the Cadd9 chord at all times...
Again, as a side note, if you couldn't figure it out, when he's doing the G and
Cadd9 together combo thing, he strums without the first or second finger and
hammers those on for a cool effect in the strumming pattern...just listen to the
song.
