(Capo 4, Standard Tuning) Newly recorded version of their popular live song, listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-Kox34wgk I'm pretty sure the chords are 100% accurate, but I don't know the correct names. The exact guitar melody that plays through the entire song is a slightly simplified version of what Conor plays. Listen to the song for timing. Kind of a weird song structure with different chord patterns all over the place. Beautiful song though. Oh and first tab so go easy ;) These are some of of the less obvious chords.
