At The Hop

Artist: Devendra Banhart

Song: At The Hop

Tuning: Standard

(Transcribed by FrostG)

Note: All chords standard except F which I think sounds best played as:

X 3 3 2 1 1  (is standard bar chord without the root note)

Note also that the chords for each verse and each refrain are the same

So I'll only write them out once!
