Amanda Palmer - Blake says from 'Who killed Amanda Palmer' Lyrics copied from www.letssingit.com This song is in standard tuning with a capo on the second fret. all of the cords shown are relevent to the second fret, (so the actual chords are E, C#m and A) The main riff is based around a D chord with the bass note changing every time. their two parts to the main riff which are very similar and it sounds ok if you only play the part over twice since its easier to do with a pick. the whole song is picked and only parts of chords are strummed at any time. the last two verses end on a G chord, not the G-Riff, other than that they're all the same.
