Transcriber notes

BPM: 123. My daughter loved this movie and I was shocked by the depth of the emotions and harmonic richness. A great composition that closely follows the emotions in the lyrics with the right musical arrangement! Enjoy :) Show Yourself from Frozen 2 chords for guitar. It was also cool to check online some other transcriptions like this: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/misc-cartoons/frozen-2-show-yourself-chords-2894489 which helped me correct some mistakes (he has some too)
