Achilles Heel Chords

874 views, added to favorites 52 times

Its a piano song really but here goes. Capo on 1 to match the recording as much as possible - chords relative to the capo. Fingerpick the intro - - not quite travis style picking, but a little like it. Verse 1 and 2 fingerpicked as per the intro Strum the other verses and then finger pick the refrain to fade out. This version is created to sit on an acoustic set list. For example to print or play from an ipad. Reduced the confusion hopefully too by correctly naming the chord variations. Added all the lyrics and a little solo picked part.Was this info helpful?
