Capo: 5
This may not be exactly how the song is performed, but I transcribed it so it sounds good on one guitar and it's pretty easy to play. I'm not sure if the G#m in the chorus is really that chord or if it's another B chord, but I liked the variety and the sound of the G#m so that's what I kept. Hope everyone enjoys. ~AW Capo 5 - All chord names relative to capo (Original song in the key of A major) E: 022100 Emaj7: 022140 E*: 022104 Amaj7: x02120 B: x24442 G#m: 466444 F#m: 244222 (INTRO) E Emaj7 E* Emaj7 (VERSE)
