(play these chords until your hands fall off, then stop playing them)
Those weird chords (and I'm not too sure about them but they sound closer
than anything else) are:
E A D G B E
-----------
Cdim x 3 4 5 x x
Ddim x 5 6 7 x x
Bb5/F 1 1 3 3 x x
Actually, the Bb5/F chord is simply the Bb5 power chord but if you are
playing with a bass, the bass should play the F note.
And that's it. Bye-bye...
