Living And Dying (1975)
Key: Em
Music: Rudolf Schenker
Chords (Played By Rudolf Schenker) :
Notes:
* in the brackets you strike only one note and not a chord; you can use
  the 2 finger chord instead (e.g. for B sound       |   |   | 3 |
                             --------------------->  | 1 |   |   |
  the note that must sound B will be 1)
* for the intro I would suggest to use this C5 chord between frets
  3-5:
  1st string   | 1 |   |   |
  2nd string   | 1 |   | 4 |
  3rd string   | 1 |   | 3 |
  4th string   | 1 |   |   |
  5th string   | 1 |   |   |
  6th string   |   |   |   |
* for verses there's a background guitar harmony - I think it's
  Rudolf's)...It's like a phaser picking using the Em chord on 7th
  fret. You also could play these chords acoustically as well
  with no use of distortion. So...HAVE FUN !
PS:  During the chorus, in the line A  Em D Em the chord D might be
     wrong; it might be a F# instead...anybody who thinks is F# (same as 
     for the bass) please let me know.
