One of my favourite all-time tunes. The lyrics allude to the problems with Sweden's
and how it is a shared burder for all of its inhabitants.
The picking pattern is to be played in quite a jumpy and stacatto manner if you want to
the synth; for example for a C# minor you would play:
e----------------------------|
b----------------------------|
g--------------9*------------|
d-----11----11-----11--11----|
a----------------------------|
e---9------------------------|
*bend the major or minor third for each chord if you feel like it :)
Get the rhythm from the song. I will outline the chords below; I prefer to strum the
than pick.
Intro
e----------------------------|
b----------------------------|
g----------------------------|
d----9---11-------9---11-----|
a----------------------------|
e------------9------------9--|
etc.
Note: most of the F#minors sound just great played as an A.
