O.A.R.- Of A Revolution - "Toy Store"
I've used the usual chords for the intro and verses, but I've also made
the chorus and outro sound great too.
Lyrics are accurate off "The Wanderer" album.
Chords used:
E D A B C#m
e|--------------2------------------------4----|
B|--------------3-------2-------4--------5----|
G|------1-------2-------2-------4--------6----|
D|------2---------------2-------4--------6----|
A|------2--------------------------------4----|
E|--------------x------------------------4----|
Note: To play the B chord easily, slide your A chord down to the 4th
fret. Very easy, it makes the A -> B chord change simple. For this
song, that's what I use for the B chord. Play standard open chords except C#m.
