Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E

This is the way I play it, i think it sounds very close to the original recording, let me know what you think The intro and verses are loosley finger picked; Strumming down the bass notes with my thumb and plucking up the trebel with my index and/or middle. I strum the chorus 'normally' The Chords are as follows: They're mostly bar chords with the high e string left open and the Low E muted or missed I switch between the G bar chord on the verse and Open G for the chorus. I've put an asterix next to the open G* You can Bar the A chord with your index finger and mute the High e Bm F# G D G* A Em e|---0---0---0---2---3---0---0------------------------------------------| B|---3---2---3---3---0---2---0------------------------------------------| G|---4---3---4---2---0---2---0------------------------------------------| D|---4---4---5---0---0---2---2------------------------------------------| A|---2---4---5---0---2---0---2------------------------------------------| E|-------------------3-------0------------------------------------------| Here are a couple of 'transitions' that connor uses (sorry they're not in order, i havent tabbed them all, comment if youre interested and ill put them up) T1 T3 T2 e|-----------------|----------|----------| B|---------2-2-2---|-------2--|----------| G|-------0-2-2-2---|-------2--|---2------| D|---2-2-4-2-2-2---|-------2--|---2h4-2--| A|---2-2-----------|-2h3-2----|----------| E|---0-0-----------|----------|----------| [Intro] Bm F# G D G D F# e|------0----0------0----0------0-----0-----2-----2--------0-----0-----2-----2----------0---0---| B|-------3-----------1-----------------------3--------------------------3----------------1------| G|--4-4----4----3-3----3----4-4---0-0---2-2-----2------4-4---0-0---2-2-----2---------3-3---3----| D|--4-4----4----4-4----4----5-5---4-4---0-0-----0------5-5---4-4---0-0-----0---------4-4---4----| A|--2-2----2----4-4----4----5-5---0-0---0-0-----0------5-5---0-0---0-0-----0----2-4--4-4---4----| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| [Verse 1]
