5* - Really nice job, but I think some of the A chords in the chorus could be Am (maybe all but the last one?)

Pholl1 is right: the third chord in the chorus is minor (a#m), only when it ends on "why we came" it's the major chord (a#). and i think the end of the last chorus should be likeG# D# A#m Fm CmNow I know why we cameC# Fm D# C#Now I know why we cameG# D# A#Now I knowgreat job anyway!greetings, mecko
edit: ok sorry, couldn't see thejako's post. that one suffices. ;)

If you're having a hard time playing with these chords, you can transpose down -1 and put your capo on 1 and play those chords instead. The sound will be a bit different but it will get the job done if you're just looking to jam out with this song.
