These are the acoustic chords to the song. The chord spellings I give are the way
I have seen them played live. The chord positions above the words are not exact, I
didn't want to spend forever trying to line them up.
Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDRitQVbpU He plays it the
same expect he is playing it tuned a half step down and capo-ed.
Enjoy!
