The Build-Up - Kings Of Convenience
Tabbed by Simon Bance 17-11-04
Tuning; STANDARD
Due to the complexity of the song's structure, and the simplicity of the guitar rhythms, I am going to give you the chords in the correct order with lyrics for annotation. I hope this is OK :) There's no point tabbing a piece properly when it is just strumming all the way through.
You should play along to the record with this in front of you.
Don't be worried about adapting some of the later chords to the easier earlier ones because sometimes they're not that nuch different sound-wise, but a lot harder to play.
N.B. Just so you understand the notation, 0 2 2 1 0 0 would be an E major chord.
