Nicole Atkins – The Tower chords
Chords:
"THE TOWER" - NICOLE ATKINS (acoustic) Ok it is official... I really love this album! Anyway... the acoustic and CD version are very similar. For the intro Nicole does some back progression with the "Am" playing with the base between the "G" then "F#" and then she hits th "F" before starting (just play around with it). The same progression happens between verses.
