The Actor Chords
The Actor by Dylan Gardner is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of F with a capo on the 1st fret. It uses the chords F, G, Am and C. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
*
The F and the last G in the verses and Chorus should be a barre chord, but that's optional.
I just think it sounds better.
