Hey Everyone this is my first chords tabs.. Hope it works out.. =L ..This is for those of you who can't be bothered removing all the sharps yourselves: CAPO FIRST FRET (because everyone loves capos! =D) I think the intro/outro is C G Am F, not too sure. Could never figure it out, =L There is also fingerpicking: I'm not that pro =D Also: The chords are based on the progression heard by the main guitar throughout the choruses (if you listen closely, the bass also plays this progression in the verses). Any questions feel free to email me at muffincakes@y7mail.com =) - James. =L ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ C G Am F (4x) VERSE 1 C (x32010@1) GWe (320003@1)wrote a prelude Am (x02210@1) FTo (133211@1)our own fairy tale C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)bought a parachute Am (x02210@1) FAt (133211@1)a church rummage sale C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)with a mean sewing machine Am (x02210@1) FAnd (133211@1)miles of thread C (x32010@1) GWe (320003@1)sewed the day above L.A.
