Snowfall chords by Halo Benders
Guitar chords with lyrics
So here are the chords for 'Snowfall' by that unfortunately underground basement punk/pop band 'The Halo Benders'. I heard the Halo Benders' excellent 'Don't touch my bikini' on MTV's Alternative Nation, hired the album and have become a fan ever since. The chords are taken from the original version from the first track from the album 'God make no junk'. (1994, I think) 'Snowfall' is a beautiful song with I think about 3 guitars and one of those Latin-American shakers as percussion. (Forgot the name) Of course there's also a bass guitar. The chords written out below are what the lead guitar plays. The lyrics (incomplete) are also my own (bad) interpretation, with a lot of help from my good friend Stephanie, who actually got my Halo Benders addiction started! Rock on, Steph! Note that sometimes two voices are singing, one low sexy voice and one normal one. So don't get confused, and good luck! --Danni Swalef Saturday, 4 January 1997 (around 5pm) ================================================================= Snowfall by Halo Benders

Throughout the whole song, you kind of keep your fingers in the same position, using your middle finger to decide whether to play a minor (m) chord or not.
