My Beloved Monster Acoustic Chords

Standard Tuning EADGBe
 
An easy strummy acoustic singer/songwriter style way of performing the song in a way still true to the
original recording.
 
Intro riff: (played on the high e string)
 
e:--6-6-6--8-8-8--4-4-5----/
 
 
Main riff during the verse:
 
        A           D
 
e |------9----------10---|                   e|-----------------------------|
B |---10---10----10----10|                   B|--------14-----------15------|
G |-9---------11---------|                   G|-----14----14-----14-----14--|
D |----------------------|                   D|--14-----------16------------|
A |----------------------|                   A|-----------------------------|
E |----------------------| or an easier way: E|-----------------------------|
 
 
or you could play it an octave lower which makes it easier to sing the lyrics over:
 
     A              D
 
e--------------------------/
B-------2------------3-----/
G-----2----2-------2---2---/
D--2------------4----------/
A--------------------------/
E--------------------------/
