Borrowed Time

C#m*: 446650
I think the C#m sounds better with 
the G# bass note if
you're playing solo acoustic, and is
 actually written
like this: "C#m/G#" but for 
shorthand, I'm writing it
like this: "C#m"

You can play it regularly if you 
wish, just leave out
the lower G# on the low E string.


This is the basic pattern for the 
intro/verses, listen to the
song for the exact strumming 
pattern, but this will give you
the basic idea. I will write in the 
chords above the lyrics,
but just be aware that the strumming
 pattern is generally
as shown below. Also, take note of 
the slight hammer/pull
between the Asus2 and the E.
