NotesBeta

To learn King Crimson - (Expanded Edition, Including Entry Of The Chameleons, Lizard Expanded Edition) Lizard chords, begin by getting comfortable with these sequence: B, C, D, Am, C, Gm, Em, Gm and E. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 72 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 145. Given the song's key of E Minor, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
