Original key is Fm but tuned a bit sharp.
Except the chords marked *, each chord is preceded by the lowest string of the
chord. Example: the chord Em is played as this: the lowest string (E) is played,
and the 5 other are played after; the E string, and the 5 others again. As this,
each chord is played twice! The chords marked ** are played once.
