Best Day of My Life American Authors Acoustic/ Live version Hey guys, the chords should be spot on. I watched a bunch of videos of them playing it live and acoustic live so the chords are accurate. It sounds right too, so enjoy! Also, they play this song a few different ways from song to song, video to video, and show to show. All of the chords and the intro are here, so you can just adapt them to whichever version of the song that youre playing with. :) The banjo part that plays in the intro is tabbed out at the bottom, its definitely accurate. There are two versions of it for those of you who dont want to stretch your fingers, although version one is exact and version 2 is the same notes, but played lower at the 7th fret. Youll see! Have fun guys!
