Aimee Mann – Charmer chords

Charmer

from "Charmer" ( 2012)


Note - this song has a pretty typical series of open-chord style walking-chord 
changes but is played with barred-power chords instead giving it a unique sound.

Use power chords!

E                  C          G      F#*and that’s a wall that you cannot scale
