Desert Island Questionnaire (Upside Down Mountain, 2014) Standard Tuning Chords Used: G – 320003 G/B – x20002 C – X32010 D – XX0232 Em – 022000 Am – x02210 I tabbed out the intro riff as well since it comes back to tie all the verses together. The xxxxxx chords are rakes; just lightly mute the strings with your fretting hand and them strum for the amount of beats. Listen to the recording for the strumming pattern.
