G string (third string) for the D chord and B string (second string) for the C chord. Please NOTE: Don't follow completely the upper tab. Just listen to the song to get the right strumming. The tablature above is just a guidance. I strongly recommend to just listen to the song, feel it and you will get the perfect strumming pattern. [Verse 1] For the four verses you can continue playing the intro with the same strumming pattern or just play the chords. D

^DIf I could crawl into a ^Cshell Then I would a mile aw^Day Things are heavy enough alre^Cady ^D ^DAnd I really do think that's The ^Cbest that I can do Stuck here and ^Dall

[Chorus 1] The chords for the chorus are G - A - D - G. There are some variations for the A and D chords that I am showing in the tab below, however you can play them just normal and it sounds still very good. You can play the variations if you want to sound it the most similar to the record as possible G A A4 D Dsus2 e|--3---------0---------0---------2---------0---------| B|--3---------2---------0---------3---------3---------| G|--0---------2---------2---------2---------2---------| D|--0---------2---------2---------0---------0---------| A|--2---------0---------0-----------------------------| E|--3-------------------------------------------------|

That's all. I hope this can be useful to anybody trying to learn the song. It's a beatiful theme. Please comment if there's any doubt and rate. Thanks.
