ANNA CALVI - FIRST WE KISS

Hi there, this was done by listening very carefully to the record AND watching live 
footage, in order to make it
as accurate as possible.
Like the whole record, it's tuned a half-step down.
(There's a chord chart at the bottom)

INTRO

Starts with strumming a D#7b9, see below :
