King Of The Past - Rheostatics Chords

Chords: By, Dave, Bidini, G, G5, Bm, Dsus2, D, A, B

More chords by Rheostatics

Genre: rock, alternative, indie

By Tim Vesely and Dave Bidini
From the album "Whale Music"

Originally transcribed by: Aaron Albert and Dave Noisy

Think of the Dsus2 to D6sus2 as simply sliding the entire Dsus2 shape up two

frets before bringing it back

down, letting the D in the bass and the high open E ring out. This happens

when playing the first and third

D of each verse. In the bridge, the chords can be B5 and A5 instead.
Try the G as 320033 or a G5 3x0033.
