Once you've got the open tuning the chords are very much simpler to play than the chord names would suggest, as long as you're okay with barre chords. The piano break is probably the trickiest to get a handle on, but I've tried to find the easiest shapes for guitar, or just skip that section as a lot of those who cover the song do, some don't even bother with the key changes and just stay in E throughout. NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below: [Verses and Choruses] E = 000000 F# = 222222 G# = 444444 F#m11 = 220100 G#m11 = 442322 A#m11 = 664544 E * = x500xx F# * = xx222x G# * = xx444x E7/D = x300xx F#7/E = xx022x G#7/F# = xx244x E6/C# = x200xx F6/D# = x422xx G#6/F = x644xx E/B = x000xx F#/C# = x222xx G#/D# = x444xx Alternative shape for m11th chords: F#m11 = 022100 G#m11 = 244322 A#m11 = 466544 [Open tuning chords to simulate the Piano break] F#7 = 222252 E7 = 030000 G7 = 333363 G# = 444444 F# = 222222 E7+ = 030010 G6 = 333353 G = 333333 F#6 = 222242 F = 111111 C7 = x10210 F6 = 111131 F7 = 111141 ^ = Emphasised beats Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ============================================================= [Intro] E F#m11 E F#m11 | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 1]
