• Song:

    La Mar The Ocean

  • Artist:

    The Beautiful Girls

This is the correct full chords and lyrics for La Mar, same chord progression during the
palm mute each chord after playing it. I pick the top E string before playing E Ab and
chords, and the A string before strumming C#m which sounds good, the original recording 
some additional finger-picking but this sounds great. Listen to original song for timing.
