The Storm The C and F chords are played slightly non-standard for ease of movement. I highly recommend watching the youtube video of them playing the acoustic version live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4FuSixYHKQ. This is great for getting the timing and strum pattern figured out. Also Mikel doesn't use a pick through "like a house in a storm", which adds a lot to the piece. The chords: C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) Ame|------0------0------0------| (x02210@1)B|------1------1------1------| G|------0------2------3------| D|------2------4------2------| A|------4------3------0------| E|------3------x------x------| The "~C" represent the dramatic break in strumming of the previous chord before beginning the C chord. Intro: C (x32010@1)F (133211@1) CBefore (x32010@1)it took you away, Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CI (x32010@1)tried to think of something I could say.
