Pull The Strumming Back Here. One Soft Strum Or Light Fingerpicking Would Work Well.

Slow Down And Soften Again.

AYes, I Guess I’ll Go Back There
ETo Live And Die
C#m7And If There’s Something Past Those Mountains
ASomething Waiting Out Of Sight
EI Hope The Road That Leads Me Home
BBrings Me Back To You One ENight
