Myriad Harbour Chords & Tabs
ubi_rex@hotmail.com
Pretty simple song, but none of the verses or choruses are quite the same,
and there's a half phrase in the middle, so be careful. You can throw a
low open e as you switch between G and C chords in the first part of the
verses. If you listen to the strumming in the first verse you can hear it.
