What you are playing
Chords for I Need A Miracle, laid out across its 3:00 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in F major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 5 the same song becomes C Em Am A E G, every one of them an open shape. Every one of its 6 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.
