Here's the new Foals single.
You can obviously play the song with open chords, but it
sounds best in these positions:
Positions for the intro/verse/bridge:
F: 8 8 1010108
D: 5 5 7 7 7 5
C: 3 3 5 5 5 3
Positions for the chorus:
A: 121210101012
D: 5 5 7 7 7 5
F: 8 8 1010108
The C chord in the verse/bridge is only struck once.
The D Chord in the interlude/chorus is only struck once.
If these chords are too hard to hit (easier to hit if you're
playing barre chords), then it sounds fine to omit them.
