Magic America Chords

Of course, this song is much easier to play with a capo on the first fret, but doesn't sound as good as it should, especially the chorus. As an alternative to this version with many barre chords, I suggest to tune your strings half a step down. It should not sound as perfect as this one without a capo, but it's fun, and you may enjoy it.Was this info helpful?
