Plastic Chords
by Spiderbait
Plastic by Spiderbait is a beginner-friendly guitar song played in the key of D. It uses the chords D. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Easy song to play. The sliding during the verse and chorus is important
if you want this to sound right. I've tried to show strumming but as usual
listen to the CD. I'm very confident that this is accurate, although you
might find a few mistakes as I'm doing this from memory.
