Chord Belle And Sebastian Act Of The Apostle Versi 1

The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords. The G chord
before [ F# - F - E D - E - D ] is played very briefly before the notes come in.
It probably doesn't really matter if you play the G at all, but I think it's there.
I think this sounds best with the recording if you barre G and Cm, and mute the E
string in the Cm, if you're playing guitar, that is...


intro riff [ D - F - D G G ]x4 then [ D - F - D ]
