This is a simple acoustic arrangement for This Is The Kit's Bashed Out, 
from the album of the same name.
I find this works best if playing alone with a simple picking pattern of bass note then treble, 
but it's just a simple guide so if you find a nice way to pick it add a comment or something.
In case I've named the linking chords incorrectly, the link between the C and Em chords 
involves moving the bass note in the C chord to B for one pick,
before the whole chord moves to Em:
C/B: x22010
The same applies when moving from G to Em, move the bass of the G to F# for one beat:
F#/G: 220003
Capo: 7th fret

This is a simple acoustic arrangement for This Is The Kit's Bashed Out,

from the album of the same name.

I find this works best if playing alone with a simple picking pattern of bass note then treble,

but it's just a simple guide so if you find a nice way to pick it add a comment or something.

In case I've named the linking chords incorrectly, the link between the C and Em chords

involves moving the bass note in the C chord to B for one pick,

before the whole chord moves to Em:

So won’t you hoist up the bucket now, Charlie?

C C/B Em

Hoosh it all over the deck

C C/B Em

Cause we’ve been getting most mightily filthy

C C/B Em

Mud marks up to our necks

[Chorus 2]

Am Em

Oooh ooooh ooh

C C/B Em

Oooh ooooh oooh

Am Em

And they did unfold and the wind it did fill them

Am Em

And they did unfold and the wind it did fill them
