And his enemies decide on a plot of regicide

Say hello to my little friend"

He had flown so high

Hi Chochek, Thanks for the chord submission! :) I just wanted to correct a few things, to avoid incorrect performances for the users on Ultimate Guitar. One big issue is your choice of Am – this should be a major chord (Stephen actually plays Asus4, but definitely not a minor chord). All of the Cs should also be Cadd9 chords, but that is being slightly picky. The last sections of the bridge (“It’s time for the king to lose his ...”) is also missing chords. The bridge chords should go like so: Asus4 – Cadd9 – G – D (x2) then Asus4 – G – Cadd9 and holding that Cadd9 before saying “...Scarface must go down”. Other than that, everything’s great! Hope this helps, Jordan

Well that's the chord I intended to use but it automatically set it to this one. :-)

Also if you plan on doing the C minor at the end of the chorus it is much easier to do it as a barre chord on the third fret, like this -x-
