City And Colour

Against The Grain (ver 3) Chords

City & Colour - Against The Grain

Standard Tuning
Capo 4


This is a great song, a side note thought... this is normally played in the key of E, but I find it easier
with CAPO 4.
Listen to the song for the finger-picking pattern, or just strum if you're lazy.

if you feel you've paid the price

and everything you love in life
G            ->      Fmaj7
spins like a winding wheel
   C/G                Am
if you should wake to find you're abandoned

and the road you travel leads to a dead end

when death creeps in to play it's part

you must follow your heart
G                    C/G  
you must follow your heart
