Chords to Long Grift
Key of: F
Performance notes by Lane:
This song is really just one long chord progression that is repeated twice with a brief interlude
in the middle. Some of the chord voicing are really unusual, so just go by what is written out,
NOT what you already know. The electric parts are heavily chorused and sounds like a back hum
bucking pickup. The electric mostly just quietly doubles the acoustic part in the background.
The acoustic part is dry. Only the acoustic part is written, and the electric lead in the interlude.
For a more thorough transcription of the electric part email me.
