Standard Tuning EADGBe
In the proper key, with the proper chords, all in an easy to read format.
* - note:
when playing the G# chord it might sound nice to also play the G#sus4 chord along with it
[Thats a 466644 btw. I mean to alternate it with the standard G# 466544 a la Paranoid Android]
Cheers!
