First Love by The Maccabees
First Love
The intro is the same as the first 4 bars of original song.
This version is just strumed a little different, you might agree it sounds better using
thumb to strum rather than a pick.
Intro
The lyrics come in the second time played (first love, last love...)

This is the same as before but it "speeds up" or to use technical terms, you play
instead of semi-breves.

version 2
Standard tuning, no capo.
Intro
(watch vid for timing etc.)

version 3
-7-
-8-
-9- is in there, in that p/m intro part, other chords around that part of
-9- the neck aswell, but like i said, this is just rough help.
-7-
-7-
then there's the four, single-hit notes that follow, which i think are:
|----14---------------------|
|----------10----------10---|
|-----------------7---------|
then comes the unkown chords of the intro, then the song verse settles in when the
hit "do you miss home?". and i believe the chords to this are A then E. otherwise known as:
Do you miss home?
