Jason Mraz — Who Needs Shelter (ver 3) Chords
JASON MRAZ
WHO NEEDS SHELTER
WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME
Thanks to Maitinin for teaching me the basics of the song. I've adjusted the
chords so that they're in the right key with the capo, and fixed the intro a bit
to sound closer to what Jason plays.
The bracketed part of the intro riff can be played as either version A or version
B. In the intro, it sounds more like A with the other instruments playing
alongside, but during the verses, it switches more to B. This isn't 100%, but
should be close enough to sound good, and you can play around with it a bit to
find what's most comfortable for you.
