Tuning| Standard (EADGBe)
This live acoustic song has three guitars in it, one is a 12 string, which has a capo on the 2nd fret
and plays the top chords which are shown here in parentheses. A 6 string guitar plays
the other chords and the lead. Forgive me if there are a few mistakes/typos in here...

This is where things get complicated....
The 12-string starts messing with picking patterns based around these chords|
Am E7 G D9 F C Dm E7
The 6 string playing the chords begins playing what the 12 string was playing in the
intro, but without the capo.
The lead guitar starts playing this|

The lyrics begin here and everything keeps doing the same thing, except the 6 string
doing the chords, which stops playing until the first verse is complete.

There is it... hope you like it, and sorry if it gets confusing at spots... just listen
to it a few times and you'll figure it out eventually. The 12 string is not completely
necessary for it to sound great, but having 2 guitars is convenient.
