The Middle East – Months
These chords would be better suited to a piano. If you would like a version that sounds 
on guitar,use the sidebar function of this site to transpose it down two semitones and 
put a capo on fret 2.
a lot of the chords alternate between barred inversions of other  chords, so I’ve sort
for eg. in the first line, the A/D/ Ais alternating between
 Aand a second
inverson of  D(in a barred  Cchord shape),
 which is hammered onto the  Achord, with the open  Astring remaining as the bass note.
