Pretend Chords

Pretend by (Sandy) Alex G
Unreleased, 2011
 
There's already a tab up on UG that is correct but doesn't include the full song. So shouts out u/henrymparks
for getting a solid start. I also used the Hysterla cover of this song for reference. He is an awesome lofi
artist. Check out his cover and original music.
