Capo: 6
Tuning: E A D G B E
Author's Note - The E chord that the song is based on goes back and forth with an A chord
and a series of open notes during the transistion (noted as E A).
The strumming pattern is down-up-down-up. There are 3 times when the E chord
stands alone, just before the transistion to Am (noted as just E).

AmAs you walk away he makes faces after you
[Verse 3]
EMyA baby and I, we've been planning a nice cool weekend
