Rise Against - Swing Life Away chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Eb Tuning (down a half step) I had to learn this song for my band, and found many versions which I thought were inaccurate. This is what I hear; it's not perfect but I believe it's closer than most other versions I've found. The numbers like this (2) above lyrics mean how many measures that chord is strummed. I tried my best to notate this accurately, but you'll have to know the song to get it perfect.
