Keep Us
Leavetaking : 2008
Peter Bradley Adams
Hello all, just a little note that actually the intro is composed of two little parts so you'll have to
repeat the intro set of chords four times :)
Anyway, here are all the chords you'll need
NB: Fingerpicking really sounds much better than strumming but whatever you choose, just try to never
pick the high E 
string

We had Cmaj9nowhere left to Cgo
So we just Fmaj9stayed in Am7bed

INTRO (2x)
Short solo
(Then chords are the same as in the previous verse)
There's a lesson in the rain 
That change will always come
Let us ride this wave
And then greet the sun
And though the ground may shake
And we'll think we've had enough
We must raise our flags
For the ones we love
So keep us 
And keep us
And keep us from the storm...
That's it folks! Hope it helped :)
