Capo: 6
Tuning:
Listen to the song for timing and when to pluck and when to strum. It gets a little
confusing sometimes so
listen close.
I like to play this song with a capo on the 6th fret but it doesn't really matter. Jack
switches what fret the capo
is on all the time.
[Intro]
e|----------------------------| This is the entire intro tabbed out so you can get an idea of what it's
B|----1--1--1--0--1--0--------| supposed to sound like. This is how Jack plays it in all the YouTube videos.
G|---0--0--0--0--2--0---0-----| Hope this helps!
