Fifteen Countries Chords

   
The lyrics might be off, and I tabbed this based on this video: http://vimeo.com/24655104,
so it might vary a tiny bit from the album version.

I put two options for each chord. In the video he uses the chords on the left, I like to
use the open chords on the right (fretting 3 on the high E string is optional).
Also, for the lines "fifteen countries long" and "that was not enough" the chords refer
to the bass note that you should hit.

Capo 1

G      35540x  or  32000(3)
A      50540x  or  x0200(3)
