Getting Started - by MelodicMystic
To learn Sufjan Stevens - The Only Thing chords with lyrics, familiarize yourself with these chords: Gm, Ab, Bb, Cm, Eb, Bb, Ab, Eb, F, Fm, Bb. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 79 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 159. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of Eb.
