Young The Giant Chords & Tabs

Version: 3 Type: Tab

Apartment Tab

   
I had to do it since there was no proper tab for this awesome song. 
This song can be somewhat tricky if you aren't familiar with maj7 and m7(b5) chords. 

Key : D Major
Standard Tuning

Chords at their most simple expressions, you can double notes in octaves if you feel like it: 

Dmaj7 (I)      Em7 (II)      Gmaj7(IV)       A7(V)        Am7(V)      C#m7(b5) (VII)      
D-F#-A-C#      E-G-B-D       G-B-D-F#       A-C#-E-G     A-C-E-G      C#-E-G-B
