Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E
(This is a simplified way to play the song, just with an acoustic guitar.) (The original key is Abm, Am on the traditional half step down tuning.) (The key of this arrangement is Em with capo put on the 4th fret.) (Bass runs are prominently used in playing this song. (As in a note B in a Am-C chord transition or a note D before moving into EM, so on and so forth.) (These are 2 often-used bass run patterns. Please note that a lower case letter represent a note) (instead of a chord.)
