Portland Maine chords by Donovan Woods

Custom Tuning
F A D G B E

-Raise the low E string a semitone, so you have more freedom playing the low F.

Capo 4th fret

I'm aware the chord naming looks simpler than what it is. Play the song like the tab below and use the
chord naming as guidance for the lyrics.
