Artist: Adam Lambert
Song: Aftermath
Before you play, this is written as the accoustic version which is in D tuning, as
in DGCFAD, but the chords presented here are the fingerings for normal E tuning. I
believe the album version is these chords in normal E tuning. In other words, to
play the album version, keep your guitar in normal E tuning and play these chords,
for the accoustic version, play these chords as you would in normal E tuning, but
tune your guitar to DGCFAD. I hope that's clear enough.
