This song is recorded in the key of Eb, so you must capo on the first fret to match the
pitch. The right-hand pattern is an arpeggio in waltz time (3/4) with the thumb leading
a predominantly down-scale movement. Noel plays a hammer-on on the 1st string 2nd fret
often and always drops in a D7 when he makes the turn into the bridge.
Note - - -the chord referred to as ‘Bm-barre' is a standard Bm minus the first-finger
It is not meant to be strummed but instead worked into the arpeggio pattern with the thumb
on the open 5th string.
