Capo: 1

Basically royalewocheese's version with some little corrections capo on 1 Chords: Cadd9 Em7 Asus G Csus2b5 Em D E|--3--|-3-|-3--|-3-|--0--|----0-|--2-| B|--3--|-3-|-3--|-3-|--3--|----3-|--3-| G|--0--|-0-|-2--|-0-|--0--|----0-|--2-| D|--2--|-2-|-0--|-0-|--4--|----2-|--0-| A|--3--|-2-|-0--|-x-|--3--|----2-|--0-| E|-----|---|----|-3-|-----|----0-|----| *Sample strumming* This is the recommended strumming for the intro. You only play the first measure (the first box below) once at the intro and everytime you switch from a different set of chord changes into the Cadd9 Em7 Asus G chords of the verses. So Play the second strumming part i wrote out over and over for the verses and the first part only when you switch into a verse. you play this holding the chords that are written out except that you don't really strum through the whole chord. i wrote out the parts of the chord that i play when i strum. also, in between almost everytime that you switch from one chord to another chord, you strum a chord not written out where you ONLY fret the 3rd fret of the E and B strings. That change is written out in the strum pattern as 0033. This is only a rough guide you can be a bit sloppy with the actual strings hit as long as your rhythm is good.
