Contact High Architecture in Helsinki
Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High
------------------------------
Key of F#, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
Key change to A for the final chorus.
------------------------------
They keep it simple with the 3-chord progression, but you can keep things
interesting by sustaining, muting and changing your strumming pattern in
different parts, like they do in the song. Watch for the chords in brackets,
which I transcribed to match the cadences at the end of most of the verses.
