I Cant - Ben Sollee Chords

Chords: C, G/B, Am7, F, G

Genre: folk, indie, alternative


He does this one progression throughout most of the song. Repetitive, but it

suits the mood of the song in my

opinion. The transition from F to G produces almost a natural slide on the

second stroke of the F. Use it,

or don't, but it just kinda happens for me.

Hope y'all enjoy.
