Tuning: E A D G B E
This song can absolutely be played with chords, but some parts could be modified because the song is normally played with a picking pattern with a slight bass focus. I made this for people who just want to play it with chords. I didn't watch a live performance when writing this, just wrote what sounded right to me. An important note to make is the fact that the chorus relies heavily on the "bass" part, which goes to a G at the second "oh man", but for the sake of a 'chord' part for this song. I personally like to just repeat the F Em descent in order to follow the vocals. I also play Dsus2 after the first Dm but the note heard in the song is an A. One could even play F as the bass note, but that doesn't sound right to me played with chords. I took a number of creative liberties to make this song sound good on one guitar, but I hope it helps you decide for yourself what sounds and feels best. [Intro] C [Verse]
