hey world! here is my interpretation of the chords in "i was once a loyal lover" by cab for cutie off the open door ep . this is a song that all death cab fans should know how play . i’m looking at the clock and it’s 2 : 42am on a school night . i’m super tired but i couldn’t sleep until i got this song out there ( forgive me if i made a mistake , i’m asleep right now . ) please contact me if you have any questions . enjoy! - k . D . ( A , F#m , E , D , Bm , Dm , A * ( played with the B string opened ) , D * ( played with the E opened ) ) A will i have learned so very little F#m D when these bones are old and brittle?
