This song is much easier than it first appears, don't be put
off by some unusual chord names, it just involves learning
a few simple groups of 3 finger sliding shapes.
CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F)
Alternatively, tune all strings up a semi-tone instead
PLEASE IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the site might suggest,
and use the chord legend below, these are the shapes
Suzanne uses.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
E5 = x79900 Fadd#4 = x3320x Bm7 = 7x770x
