Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E
This is my acoustic version of this song, which includes fingerpicking during the chorus. You can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syx6ofUQzQ0 Capo 1st Fret Strumming pattern is mainly down, down, up, down, up [Intro] Am C Am C e|----0----------3----------0----------3-----------0----------3----------0---| B|----1-----/3h5---5p3\-----1-----/3h5---5p3\------1-----/3h5----5p3\----1---| G|----2---------------------0----------------------2---------------------0---| D|----2---------------------2----------------------2---------------------2---| A|----0---------------------3----------------------0---------------------3---| E|----0---------------------0----------------------0---------------------0---| [Verse]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] Repeat 2x (Note: I used a slapping technique similar to some John Mayer songs, so if you've learned that pattern, then this will be easier and if not, then it may take some time to pick up. As you slap with your thumn, you strum the other notes with your index too) Am G C e|----------3--0------3-------------------------3--0------3/5--\3---0------------| B|--1h3--3-------1------------3--------1h3--3--------1----1/3--\1-----h5-1-------| G|-------2----------------0-------0---------0----------------------------0------| D|-------2----------------0-------0--------------------------------------2------| A|--0----s--0----s---------------------3----s---3----s----3/5--\s---3----s-------| E|--------------------3---s---3---s---------------------------------------------| Am G C e|----------3--0------3-------------------------0----------0h1--1--1-0----------| B|--1h3--3-------1------------3--------1----1-----0---1---------0-------0-------| G|-------2----------------0-------0---------0---------0-----------------0-------| D|------------------------0-------0---------------------------------------------| A|--0----s--0----s---------------------3----s---------s----3----s--3----s-------| E|--------------------3---s---3---s---------------------------------------------| [Bridge] (Note: on the Am, C and F I use a slap again in the pattern I show below) All alone alone again, no one lends a helping hand Dm G7 Am e|--1---------------1----------------------------0---------0--------0--------| B|--3---------------0----------------------------1-----1---1----1---1--------| G|--2---------------0----------------------------2-----2---2----2---2--------| D|--0---------------0----------------------------2-----2---2----2---2--------| A|--0---------------2----------------------------0---------0--------0--------| E|--0---------------3----------------------------0-----s---0----s---0--------|
