Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Two versions of the song chorus. The first is how I play it, asi it is easier for my clumsy hands, but
some parts slightly differ from the recording. The second is how it seems to sound on recording. It differs
in bars 4-6, but my hands are unable to make it sound right, so I usually play the first version :-)
Let ring what You can. Do not forget to engage heavy chorus effect.
Version 1 (less exact):
Bar 1 - Strum the first chord, muting lowest strings (E, A) with Your thumb and
highest string (e) with ring finger (which holds the D note on 3rd fret).
Bar 2 - Move index finger to bar the two highest strings (B, e) at the first fret.
Do not forget to stop muting lowest string with thumb when playing the low E.
Bar 3 - Use middle finger for all notes on the third fret.
Bar 6 - Bar index finger accross D and G string (playing those notes on second fret),
then slide the index finger to fifth fret and use pinky to play notes
on the B string.
