Hey neighbour :lol:

I believe off the top of my head , that it goes like :

Code: Select all

e|-----3----------0----------0------
B|-----2----------3----------0------
G|-----0----------2----------0------
D|-----0----------3----------2------
A|-----0----------1----------1------
E|-----3----------0----------2------
Hope this helps

Hmm, I know nothing about chords, are they in the right order as they are right now? So G is the first, C7 is second, D7 is third? :) Thanks! :)
