Affirmation
Artist: Savage Garden
Album: Affirmation
Transcribed by: Ginger (fireinsidetheman@hotmail.com)
Format: Chords

Hints:
Keep an eye out for key changes - the verses, intro, and bridge are in the key of
 Ab (4 flats); the choruses and pre-choruses are in the key of Bb (two flats).
The only ONE little solo riff in the whole song is at the end of this page and
 wherever it is played, it is marked with an asterik (*). In the intro it is played
 AFTER the Eb, anywhere else it is played at the same time as the Eb.
If you don't like this scenario, feel free to play with a capo first fret or barre
 chords-- Ab becomes G, Eb becomes D, Db becomes C, Bb becomes A, F becomes E, etcetera.
