My Wrecking Ball
Capo 4 (all chords relative)
Great song off the new album.
I play the C as a C/G and the G as a technically a G6add11 below in the diagram.
Play the Fmaj7 in the verses and chorus with your thumb on the bass note (see chord diagram).
Sounds good if you add a few embellishments such as hammer ons etc.
