                                                 SALTWATER - Beach House
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
These are, roughly, the organ chords Victoria's playing, not the fills, though
I'm working on those too. It doesn't cover Alex's (very soft) slide guitar, but
if you want to play a barebones version, here's how.
This song's in Bb, and there's a couple ways to play that. The way I've listed
uses a capo on 3 with chords relative, but if you want to work with it in a
different way or transpose it, know that "G"=Bb, "Em"=Gm, "Dm"=Fm, "C"=Eb,
"Am"=Cm, and "D"=F.
CAPO 3
 G   Em   Dm   C(x4)
