Standard Tuning EADGBe Note: during the chorus and intro the Em is a drone note, meaning strum the chord and let it ring out as long as possible, or use a freeze effect The timing is difficult to get down unless you really know the track. Also play it slow. You cannot rush this track. Really savor the chords. Intro: Em Chorus 1:
