Beads On One String chords

Tuning: Standard

The synth-arpeggio in the verses features the notes of "e” and "f”, so the
third chord (basically an Am) might also be played as F/A or even Fmaj7/A
to make it more interesting. The Bb might also be played as Bbsus2. The same
can be done in the outro which is played one full note higher. Possible
voicings are suggested below, choose what you think sounds best.
