Standard Tuning - EBGDAE
Passing the Hat
by Cold War Kids
This song is basically a few power notes and some riffs. But in the small break there's
bar chord that you can slightly hear. This allows the guitar to do the high melody on
part. Mainly because the guitar uses power chords heavily during the song.

The bridge is just a strum of four bar chords. I'm not so positive on the names but I'm
sure it's: Am, G, F#m, and Em
