If It Means A Lot To You Chords & Tabs
If It Means A Lot To You Chords
So I'm really bad at bar chords and many of the tabs here include bar chords for this
song. So I wanted to tab a way to play it without bar chords. Also, this song takes a bit
of explaining which is hard to do over just txt, so bare with me here.
Capo on 3
The intro to this song is somewhat tricky

x1
Repeat both of these after playing them once. So you'll play the top part twice, then
the bottom part once, then the top part twice and the bottom part once, and thats your intro.
