Frightened Rabbit – The Modern Leper chords
Chords:
The other tabs on here are more accurate to the original way it's played but I put this up for those of us who are less familiar with drop D tuning, happier with standard chords and wanted to play this excellent song. You'll have to work away with the strumming patterns yourself, particularly with the intro and verses but the chords fit the recording.
