What chords did you use for 'Meet Me at the Convention' and 'Oh, Pretty Stranger'? I wanna cover them :3

honestly I might make a chords page on my website, thanks for the idea!
till then, here's what I got for you:
most of Meet Me at the Convention is just going up a C major scale from the I to the IV (C-Dm-Em-F), though in the intro I do briefly play the V (G major) before going back down to the IV (F major), and in the verses and intro it's all power chords with the root on the fifth string, octave fretted on the third string, and the rest of the strings ringing out freely. For the pre-chorus it's I-IV-I-V (C-F-C-G) twice. In the solo it's the same as the pre-chorus except the last V lasts for only a moment before going back to the I. The song ends on a I (C major).
As for o pretty stranger, I didn't write that one so I'm not entirely sure if these are the chords as Biddy intended them and I'm not even entirely sure what key it's in (im pretty sure it modulates from the verse to the chorus?) but the way I play it is Am-Am-G-F for the verses, then the chorus is E-F-E-D-C, all major.
Hope this helps!
