  • Album:

    Damnesia

This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love".
You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note 
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:

C#m   (x46600)
Aadd9 (002200)
F#m   (2442xx)
B     (x24400)
E     (024400)

Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!

I'm like a broken record

I swear to God it's not contagious
