Artist: Niall Horan
Song: On My Own
Album: Flicker
Key: G major
BPM: 185
Tabbed by: Matty Sievers
Intro and verse is every chord for two bars, Chorus is G and C for two bars then Em and D for one.
Below is the progression for the "Insteads" and "Yeahs" at the end of the Choruses. Note, after these
C plays for two bars to lead into the next verse and bridge. That is what the C above the "ah" is
referring to. Also of note is that the song is in 6/8 though I've just laid out the progression
as a standard 4/4 set to make it clear and simple.
