Strumming
Capo: 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
I'm adding this because I did not see a correct tab for this posted. What the other author has called a minor
chord is actually just a 6 chord (they are tonally similar). I've tabbed this in the correct key, however it
is easier if transposed. To play in the correct key with less hassle I use a capo on 4. Alternatively, you
could play with mostly open chords if you capo 1 and use the open C6 shape, which sounds cool, but it's harder
to do the F# line. I play the F# as an open "A" shape on the 9th fret. Anyways, enjoy, I hope this tab helps
you appreciate this song. Let me know if you have any feedback in the comments, thanks for reading.
For clarity: these chords are NOT relative to capo. They are relative to standard tuning
on your guitar.
