Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E
PLEASE See live performance: https://youtu.be/aTuQy0zN9b8 There are 2 main "hooks" or riffs in this song, which I've named Hook 1 and Hook 2. Hook 1: appears at the start and end of the song, and has the following chords: |D |D E| |C Em Am D| In this, the | | indicate 4 beats (a full measure), so the D takes an entire measure, and then the D and E share a measure, and the decending 4 chords all share a single measure. Hook 2: occurs after every chorus, and includes a riff over the D chord for 4 bars. **note from commenter: Drop D tuning, The first Em in the hook is actually an A7sus4 shape X-0-2-0-3-0 and the second ending chord in that intro (hook 2?) is some kind of Bm variant played 0-2-0-0-3-0 [Intro] Guitar solo [Hook 1] D D Em C Em G Em D D Em C Em G Em [Verse] N.C.
