- Voice Range: G3 - B4
- Chord Types in This Arrangement:

- Half‑diminished 7th chords (e.g., F♯m7♭5, C♯m7♭5)
- Ebaug is an augmented chord
Also written as Eb+
Formula: 1-3-#5
Augmented chords are built by raising the 5th of a major triad, giving them a bright, unstable, “lifting” sound. - C#m7b5 & F#m7b5 are half-dimminished 7th chords
Also written as ø7, m7-5, -7(b5)
Formula: 1-b3-b5-b7
Half‑diminished 7th chords are minor‑quality seventh chords with a flattened 5th, giving them a tense, unresolved flavor.
Beginner Guitarists:
Don’t be put off by the chord names—some of them might look a little intimidating at first, but they’re actually very easy to play with a bit of practice.
For those of you that haven't learned barre chords, here is an easy way to play Bm/F#:
Bm/F#: B-D-F# 🎸 Frets Notes Fingers e|---X--- B|---X--- G|---X--- D|---0--- ← D A|---2--- ← B 2nd E|---2--- ← F# 1st
While the song is rated Intermediate, all the chord voicings can be played as open chords, making it very approachable for beginners. Just take some time to go through the charts, and make sure you can play each chord cleanly and confidently before playing the full song. You’ve got this! 💪🎸
