Act Of The Apostle by Belle And Sebastian
Act Of The Apostle
The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords. The G chord
before [F#-F-E D-E-D] is played very briefly before the notes come in.
It probably doesn't really matter if you play the G at all, but I think it's there.
I think this sounds best with the recording if you barre G and Cm, and mute the E
string in the Cm, if you're playing guitar, that is...
