The Wailin Jennys
Firecracker Chords
I went looking for the chords for this simple, beautiful song by the Wailin Jennys and was surprised to see
none on this website. So I took it upon myself to figure them out and make my first submission. I hope it works
for you.
(This song has an easy, yet specific rhythmic strumming pattern. You can listen to the original recording
to hear it.)
