Tuning: E A D G B E
This version makes a correction for the previous versions C chord played at the end of the progression when
it should be an open Em chord.
Also, the chords are repositioned over the lyrics to better represent playing with the lyrics. One minor lyric
edit was also made
Em* is indicated as an open chord.
All other chords should be played as barre chords.
The low E string is left open when strumming the Em barre at the 7th fret position.
