• Song:

    Nikorette

  • Artist:

    Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band

This is a chord transcription from a promo copy of the album. The G chord Conor uses in
rhythm (which is what I'm transcribing) isn't a standard shape. I will site it as a G 
it's a little different:

E|-3-|
A|-x-|
D|-0-|
G|-0-|
B|-3-|
e|-x-|

And on the D during the verses you should play around with the chord a bit, I like to 
the G string up with the rhythm. Just listen to the song and you'll understand.
