The song starts at [0:21]
The song is played in G, but in the clip Dan's guitar is tuned
down a full tone to D-G-C-F-A-D, and he has a capo at the 2nd
fret to bring it back up to concert pitch. This is a common
practise for 12 string guitar players, as the slacker strings
take some of the strain off of the guitar neck. If you're on
a 6 string just play it in G, no capo or detuning needed.
G = 320033 D = xx0232 D/A = x00232 G/D = xx0033
G/F# = 2x0033 D/C# = x40232 D/E = xx2232 F# = 244322
Em = 022000 C = x32010 D/F# = xx4232 D/C = x30232
Em7/D = xx0000 Dsus2 = xx0230 C/B = x2x010 D/B = x20232
Bm = x24432 D4 = xx0233 Am7 = x02010
Bm/F# = 224432 C/G = 332010 Am7/E = 002010
