Strumming
Capo: 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
*Edit: yes you can use the capo on the third fret if you wish but it is not necessary as the band themselves
does not play it this way live.
This is the accurate way the band plays it! They confirmed via their youtube comments that this song is in
standard tuning.
For further song reference and inspiration on the strumming pattern and their flare/jazzing up of chords
via hammer ons/pull offs go to this link:

If you are a beginner and these chords are too hard they can be simplified to the following chords:

A 0 0 3
E 0 0 0

Whichever chords you choose to play I encourage you to get creative with the hammer ons and pull offs within
the notes of the chord, as this is what the band does within the song. It's why the first set of "original"
chords has more placements on the fretboard. The pinky, ring, and middle finger are mostly used to do this.
Remember you are staying within the shape of the chord, so for C/G it would be 030 using your pinky at the
root note of the chord.
The lead guitar does a major F chord (bar chord), A minor chord and a C major chord, in that order.
