Tuning: EADGBE Capo @ 2nd fret
NOTE: That's what I came up with since I first listened to the song two days ago. It's a simple solution, I know, and it's not 100% accurate but should give you a good start. Personally I prefer blocking off both E strings. Also I like picking the first verse instead of strumming the chords. Anyway, the hard part is singing it :p
F': Use this F instead of barre chord (which I use on the chorus parts only) ||--x--|-----|-----|----| ||--x--|-----|-----|----| ||-----|--x--|-----|----| ||-----|-----|--x--|----| ||-----|-----|-----|----| ||-----|-----|-----|----|
