Tuning:

"Say Hello 2 Heaven" key of Am Used a combo of Chris's acoustic and original electric versions. I like the flavor of the "Cadd9" in the chorus versus a "C" acoustically, but either works. The song also sounds good arpeggiating the chords as well (like electric version). In the verse, I preferred an open F chord to use the add9 imbelishment. In pre-chorus I preferred an F barre to pronounce the F note on the low e string 1st fret. Chris also uses barre chords in the last line in the pre-chorus- G-Bb-A to open C -INTRO- x 2 e|------0------0------0------0---| B|----3------3------3------3-----| G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|--3------2---------------------| E|---------------1-----0---------| Intro into verse.
