I couldn't find these chords for this song anywhere so I finally decided just to sit
and figure them out. I hope you enjoy, this is really a magnificent song, very powerful
Let me know how I did, and if you caught anything I didn't. Thanks
Note: The F in the into is a grip chord, but the rest of the time it's a barre chord.
the intro the F and C's get a little hammer-on/off to add styling.
Intro: F, C, G, G, F, C,
