Emmy The Great – Dylan chords
Chords:
FOR GEMMA :) xxxx Artist : Emmy The Great Song: Dylan Time: 3:00 approx. 90 % correct at least ;) you'll notice that the majority of this song is written in barre chords. the transitions between chords (the F#'s and G#'s) between F-G and G-Am make the song a lot better. this song should be played staccato (mostly). the C barre and Am barre were bastards to work out from listening to the song.
