Tuning: E A D G B E
I normally play this a half step down to better fit my voice, but it still plays fine in standard.
[Intro]
(The intro is totally optional, this is not how it's played on the recording, it's similar, but much easier.
Just a simple alternating E to E7 at the beginning and through the first lines of verse 1&2. Just E by
itself works, this just adds a little flair and brings it closer to the recording)
e|----0-----0------------------|
B|----0-----0------------------|
G|----0-----0------------------| x3 (the 4th time through, the verse starts, so you can keep playing this or
D|-1-----1-----1--1-1-1-1-1-1--| just stick with E)
A|-2-----2-----2--0-2-0-2-0-2--|
E|-2-----2-----2--2-2-2-2-2-2--|
