Tuning: E A D G B E
Author's Note - You can play the F G Gm F progression as bar chords. But I think it sounds better as such: F G Gm F e|-1--3--3--1-----| B|-1--3--3--1-----| G|-2--4--3--2-----| D|-3--5--5--3-----| A|----------------| E|----------------| [Intro] F G Gm F F G Gm F F G Gm F F G Gm F [Verse 1]
