Alright, so the song is originally in the key of G, using the chords G, C, and F. that order. I have tabbed the song 3 steps higher, in the key of A using the chords A, F#m, E. This is because I like to sing along (I'm a girl with a voice naturally higher than original key), and I don't have a capo at the moment. To play it in the original key, substitute the chords in the order above. Hope it isn't too confusing! Play well and love. This is a great song. ~amaqqut
