Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is an American rock band formed in 2004 in Waitsfield, Vermont. Featuring lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Grace Potter, the band's original blend of roots, funky blues, soul, and rock conjures up a nostalgic sound from the sixties and early seventies. Their debut album, Nothing But the Water, was released in 2005, as was Live Oh Five.
Their 2010 self-titled Grace Potter and The Nocturnals was followed by The Lion The Beast The Beat in 2012.

So I decided to transpose this and submit it, because the wife really wanted to do this song together, and after trying out the other submissions, they didn’t sound right. This is based off a live acoustic performance. She picks through these notes, so listen to the song for the timing. Regarding note variations of the C/+G and Fmaj7: The C/+G is a standard C chord + finger 4 on the 1e @ the 3rd fret. When you hold the C/+G note at the end of verse, hammer on and off on the 2-finger on the 2nd fret. There are two versions of the Fmaj7. I denote the alternate version as *Fmaj7. The *alt is finger 1 on 6e while fingering an Am with your 4,3,2 fingers. I hope that makes sense. :)
Tuning: Standard Intro: Am, FMaj7, C Am, FMaj7, C mmmmMMMMMMmmmmm
