Tuning:

CHORDS: G [320033] A [x02220] Csus4 [x32033] B [x2444x] E [022100] Fsus4 [xx3233] C* [x3555x] D [xx0232] Dsus4 [xx0233] Bb [x1333x] B7 [x21202] A7sus4 [x02033] A7 [x02020] D7 [xx0212] C/Bsus4 [x20033] The A7sus4 chord is a transition chord in the bridge so I usually play just one down strum. Instead of C/Bsus4 you can play a G but I play it this way. Enjoy! INTRO: [played quietly with more emphasis on the bass notes] G E G E VERSE 1:
