Capo: 3

Holy Molly, isn't this new album by The Maine just amazing? Here's my acoustic version for American Candy! Don't hesitate to leave your corrections below! The song is basically built around 3 chords: Gm, Eb and Bb (or Em, C and G, if you put a capo on 3rd fret). Also there's F (or D with capo on 3rd) in the bridge. Capo on 3rd fret Intro: Em C G Verse 1:
