================================================================== ================================================================== VERSION 2 This version is another choice for a simple version for acoustic guitar, which you can play in standard tuning but in the key of A, or if you want to play along with the original album track, (which was in Ab) then tune all your strings down a half step. Using a chromatic tuner can be useful for an accurate pitch. DROPPED TUNING: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb (Chords will then sound in the key of Ab) A = 577655 or x02220 D = xx0232 Bm9 = x20222 F#m11 = 244200 or x44200 E = 022100 Please select a star rating, many thanks ================================================================== [Intro] A F#m11 D E A F#m11 E | / /__/ / / | / /__/ / / | / /__/ / / | / / / / | [Chorus]
