Short A Try Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A C♯m Bm D A

Notes:

- Use barre A for the verses, open A for the chorus.

- For the last D in the chorus ("I'm locked up..."), strum it once and let it ring.

- Change back to barre chords beginning with the A immediately after the chorus (on "try").

- For verse 3, use open chords, except the last A/C#m/Bm sequence.

- Again, listen to the song to hear how Marc plays it.
