Great Big Sea – Boston And St Johns chords
Chords:
My first chording effort - apologies for errors, etc! Done from listening to the album version, so no idea if this actually looks like the official version... Note: the melody starts on a D, while the guitar is playing E minor. This feels very wrong til you get used to it. I think it sounds better if you sit heavily on the low end: you really want that underlying E - F - G on the low E string.
