Learning How to Die Jon Foreman
The little bass note walkdown that makes this song special is simply:
[G] [F#] [E]
e|--------------| B|--------------| G|--------------| D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--3---2---0---|
To add that last layer of finesse, make sure you hit the root of each chord before
strumming the whole chord...mmmmmmm delicious.
