Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
So, this is basically how she performs this song live. Sounds good this way, and it's easier than it looks! I don't know all the technical names for the chords, sorry!
Capo on 4th fret

Interlude: GG/F# (while holding those chords) she plays: e|-----3---3-3-3-------3---X-0-0--| B|-----3---3-3-3-------3---3-0-0--| G|-----0---0-0-0-------2---2-2-2--| D|-----0---0-0-0-------0---0------| A|-2-2---2---2-2-0-0-0---0--------| E|-3-3---3-------2-2-2---2--------|
this could be confusing, so just play the chords: G and G/f# if you like!
