La La Lie by Jack's Mannequin
La La Lie
This is a great song to play, easy chords too.
Put a capo on 3 to play in the correct key.
The Chords are:
C: X32010
G: 320003
G/F#: 2X0003 (use your thumb!)
Em: 022000
D: XX0232
Dsus2: XX0230
Dsus2/F#: 2X0230 (use your thumb!)
Am: X02210
And an asterisk (*) next to a chord means add the third fret on high e. So C* would be
of x32010. D* would be xx0233 which is technically called Dsus4, but why more than I
to?
And if you didn't already know, a after a chord means a different bass note. So G/F#
bass is F#, so it's 2X0003 or 220003 if you want.
I'm showing the intro a little more detailed than the rest of the song, but if you can
