Chi-Town by The Cribs
Chi-Town
I've put the chords as open, but I'm pretty sure they're played as power chords or barre chords.
The G bits in the verse are just two very quick hits of the G chord. Pretty simple really-
I prefer to play them as power chords, G5, C5, A5 etc, but you may prefer barred or open.
