The Temperance Movement - Chinese Lanterns In this song, Paul (who's playing the acoustic), will often mix up the major and sus chords, to give some variation. I am just going to put the major version of the chords (no sus's), but I have given the diagrams which show how to play these chords, if you want to play it more like the original. There are also a couple of little non-chordal riffs in this song which I have put below.
