Here’s the basic chords for this awesome song. Since the first chunk
of the song is lacking in chords, I tabbed out how it sounds in case
you want to play the riff.
There isn’t really a set “range” that you have to play the chords, as
play open or bar chords, whatever is more comfortable to you. And for
simplicity reasons, I’m just referring to the D#5# chord as D#.
