Jamie Campbell Bower- Better Man Guitar Chords

Play along with Jamie to get the strumming down :)

Jamie Campbell Bower- Better Man Guitar Chords

*The intro (Em7) is just a continuous strumming of the open
E string of the Em7.  When you go to the G on 'shelf' it's 
still muted but strumming the low strings EAD only and 
continue that strumming until the pre chorus. There are some 
very quick chord changes so play along with the song to get 
it down.

You can cry to me like I'm somebody else
                                                  G
And then you leave me alone to gather dust on the shelf of love
Em7
  Showed you all of my faults and gave you all I had
                                               G
And then you threw it away and told me to be a man,
But I was

          Cadd9         G                     Cadd9          G     
And every little step I take and every single move I've ever made
                   Cadd9       G
And even though my heart still aches
           D/F#
Makes me a better man

About LLG♥

Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist.   I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by.  Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)

I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar.  So many of them were just wrong!   I started making correct versions and it just grew from there.   I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site.  (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, and I’m still in the top 10.  Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many, many years!)

In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs.  I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct.  This makes a huge difference for new players!  I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :)  My capo is my best friend!!  (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one!  It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now!  Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)

Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive!  :)
