I usually both arpegiate and strum these chords to help set a somber mood.
I tried to keep the transcription fairly simple because it was originally
played on piano, I did it for guitar so things will be a little different.
This song was written after Sarah received some rather disturbing letters
from some obsessed fans. Enjoy.
