Killers – When You Were Young Acoustic chords
Chords:
I understand that some people who don't have access to a capo (makeshift or otherwise!) would like to play this song, so here's my version. The album version is tuned a half step down, but you can choose whether or not you'd like to play it that way.

It's how it's supposed to beplayed, but if like me you find the transitions harder with the Bm in there, then leave it out. It's fine either way :)I'm also open to any corrections, but I'm fairly sure that this is around 98% accurate. Thanks for playing this!
