Parachute by Chris Stapleton
Transcribed by DWdrummer67
This is great tune tune that transcribed prior to the release of Chris's album. It's in a different
key than Chris uses on the album, which is why it sounds different. I actually like it better, but
if you don't... please look elsewhere for the album version. I hope that you enjoy this, but please
don't give it a low star rating just because it's not in the key that's on the album.
BTW... the final G, D and Em notes in the song are notes, not chords.
Tuning: Standard
