• Song:

    Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us

  • Artist:

    Sufjan Stevens

Very easy and straight-forward for most beginners. Song is in 3/4 time so strum/pick accordingly!
These chords aren't in the same key as the song, but you can fiddle with moving 
them half or whole tones up/down to get it right, or to get it so you can sing 
comfortably with it :)
Enjoy!
