Beck Hansen
Chords
This album is a masterpiece.
If you like it, you should probably get Morning Phase (2014), as it is considered a "companion piece"
to Sea Change.
ALL HAIL THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY BECK!!!
Important precisions nicely added by joakimk:
Play all bar chords as open chords: For example, F#m should be played as 244200 and not 244222.
Same for A, where you play 577600 and not the standard 577655.
This goes for the majority of the songs -- it's really what ties this album together and gives it its
distinct sound.

Standing there

In your mind
