Tuning: E A D G B E
These are the chords in standard tuning with no capo. The chords become a lot easier with a capo on the third fret (transpose down three), and that's how they usually play it in the live shows I've seen! Chords are also pretty simple with the guitar tuned down a whole step (transpose up two), so that's another option. Try pairing the Gm with a Gm7 here and there for some flair! Enjoy! [Intro- Play for eight bars] Gm F C [Verse 1]
