Tuning: E A D G B E
This transcription is based on the acoustic version (recorded by Seal)
that's available on his "Best of" album.
The chords are intentionally open and unresolved in a lot of places,
to let it ring and to make it feel a little more mystical.
Specifically, for the verses, you just move your hand
in the E position up and down (2nd fret; 5th fret; 7th fret)
without changing the shape (except that it's an E minor, not E major).
