I wish I could find the chords to this song. Such a beautiful tune.

[@IanRedmon]

He’s playing it in the key of F#, using the shapes of E, A, and B7 near the headstock. He uses an E7 Shape later on further up the neck (F# since capo is on 2) and plays around those shapes

[@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrl7059]

@@IanRedmon what chord does he use after the e7 up the neck

[@funske6786]

A 7
