This is the way I play Bleed Out on the acoustic guitar. I believe it's accurate, but
feel free to comment with suggestions. The song is pretty easy to play transposed down
one full step, too. I would rather play an F than a Bm so that's why I play capo 3. It
also leaves a little more room to play with the capo if you have a lower voice.
FYI: The chords are not showing above the correct words sometimes. I've tried, but they
keep shifting. I give up. You will have to listen to the song to figure out the
timing, I guess.
Capo 3 to match the song
