Faultline Chords
by Silverchair
Faultline by Silverchair is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of D. It uses the chords D, D5 and B. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
This tablature is taken mostly from the Frogstomp book except
where I feel the parts are played differently (ie, second part
of the verse)
**Tuning** Dropped D
