Chord transcription by Mikayel Abazyan mikayelabazyan@yahoo.com
Playing tips
This song is build on picking the strings up for simple chords like Am, G and C.
Play the original recording to see how beautifully it is done, and to get the idea of
the difference between same, for example, "a" letters in the provided passages like
"a e a d a b c", because this makes difference. As usual in my transcripts, the "-"
sign denotes quick change between the connected notes, i.e. depicts a shorter note.
The chords shown above the single notes show base chords in which those single notes
are picked.
