The Rescues

Were Ok Chords

“We’re OK�- The Rescues
Transcribed by Robin Young

Notes: A-7(no5,#13) contains the notes A,C,F#,G. It could be written many different 
ways, but this seemed the most accurate to me.
Also, for the first section, I’ve written the implied chords- they don’t really come in 
until the last line of the first verse.
Additionally, many of these chords are played without the thirds.

INTRO: C5  C5(add13)
