Here are the chords to 'Cameo' by Sam Tsui! It's a really
easy song to play for beginners because it's just the same chords
repeated over and over again! I added some seventh and suspended chords
during the prechorus just to add some interest but if they're too hard for you
you don't have to play them! I also recommend palm muting during the prechorus
and playing single strums during the bridge :)
'Cameo' is the first single of Sam's upcoming
new original album which I can't wait for to come out :)
