Hey guys, this is my first ever post on here, so hopefully it turns out right. This is my favorite song on this
album so hopefully I got it right. I'm about 99% sure this version is correct, though there may be a few spots
missing a chord.
No capo, E-standard tuning
C: x32010
Csus2: x30010
F: 133211
G: 320033
Am: x02210
G*: 355433
Am*: 577555
One note, the Csus2 is usually a very quick switch from the chord. (Meaning, you only play the
chord once before switching back to C) Just listen to the song and you'll see what I mean.
I recommend listening to the song when learning it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IY_BjQQhx4)
