Capo: 2

I transposed this song from the original for easier play-ability with use of a capo for those who find it difficult to play full barre chords. For this acoustic version I play using the intro strumming pattern for the entirety if the song. It gives it a fuller sound especially when playing alone in contrast to traditional staccato style Reggae strumming which is ideal when playing in a full band. Enjoy. Capo 2nd fret Intro: G Am F G
