Artist: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
Song: Belong
Album: Belong (2011)
This is the way you can watch the band play the song on many live videos
on the internet. The strumming of chords is displayed with a simplified
pattern in this tab. The real song is played with up & downstrokes.
It's not complicated to find out the right strumming.
Just let the drum beat guide you.
!! Capo on 2nd fret !!

to never sleep
while there was still air left to breathe
