View Guitar Chords for Hero of war acoustic - chords ver. 1
Hello guys, this is my first post here :). So Tim Mcilrath plays this song in E flat tuning and he sings a whole octave higher - he actually reaches tones from 3 octaves. Sadly I have a limited vocal range so I I had to use a capo and sing in the same octave as the guitar but this way the sound is not that rich. So I moved the key of the song not by putting a capo but by changing the chords so that I can sing one octave higher than the guitar without reaching my limits. I guess this won't work for every song but in this it goes pretty well. Anyway.. Chords used: A: C#m: D: E: F#m: e-0 e-4 e-2 e-0 e-2 B-2 B-5 B-3 B-0 B-2 G-2 G-6 G-2 G-1 G-2 D-2 D-6 D-0 D-2 D-4 A-0 A-4 A-x A-2 A-4 E-0 E-4 E-x E-0 E-2EHe said &Aquot;Son, have you seenC#m the world?
