On The Brightside
Never Shout Never
Right so I’ve looked for the chords to this song everywhere and there always seems to be something wrong with them so I’m going to submit my own I guess. If there’s anything wrong please e-mail: On the Brightside by Nevershoutnever This is an easy little song with only two phrases even used so if you’re looking for something really easy and nice to pick up here you go. Finger-picking here is simple; just alternate between thumb for bass and fingers for the rest of the chord. It’s straight eighth notes so you can’t go wrong. Most chord changes are on 1 or 3 of a bar so it’s very straightforward. [EDIT] The chords showed when you hover over their names are all 1 fret up because of the displayed tuning so just play how I have them below if you want to be in tune with the song. I just thought that might cause mild confusion. Or don’t. I mean whatever you wanna do you know? Heh.
