Hotel Cinema - Fire Escape Chords
I did this chord chart on piano but its meant to be
picked on a guitar so a lot of this song has
to be from listening to it to get a feel for
how to play it on whichever instrument.
During the verses where they have the first
chord sustained, they alternate within the lead guitar
between sus4 and sus2- listen to the song for the
main instrumental melody.
