Gang Of Rythm

Sorry it took so long for me to post this. I was being lazy, and I had a ski trip, and blah blah blah. Anywhos, I should've 
posted Walk Off The Earth stuff a lonnnngggg time ago. This great Canadian (woohoo eh!) band does awesome covers 
(often there version is better than the original) and original songs. Here's their own song, Gang Of Rhythm. P.S. my dad 
totally looks like the guy with the beard.

Let Her Go

Hi guys! This is a great song by Passenger. A couple things before you play this song. Number one, when you play a D at the end of the line, you should play it like this:
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
-2-2-2-2-2-3-2-3-2-
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
-2-2-2-2-2-0-2-0-2-
So basically what that means is you'll be playing normal D (2220) for five strums, and then switching from Dsus4 (0230) twice. Number two, the italics mean that you'll fingerpick the first chorus and single strum the last. The fingerpicking'll look like:
---x------x------x-
-----x------x------
-x------x------x---
--------------------
The X's mean the chord that you're on. You'll play this once per chord. Enjoy! P.S. if you haven't heard Passengers voice, it's really weird. My dad said "That's a guy?" when he  heard it the first time.
