C#m E
Well honey here comes a lullaby
B F#
Your very own lullaby
C#m E B F#
Note the riff is played based on the shape of the chords played by the other
guitar(a piano in the song but sounds good on guitar). I find the 7th fret
E Chord makes it easier to transition to the B and it sounds better than an open E.
Any comments, questions and fixes please dont hesitate to comment :)
Enjoy!
