This song is pretty easy to play, but it sounds like Jeff mixes open chords with
barre chords. Pretty much every chord is a barre chord except for Am and G, and F
is only open during that downward progression in the chorus.
No big difference though if you wanted to play all of one or the other.
And in most choruses, he throws in these extra high e notes:
F** Dm**
e|----12---------10----|
B|----10---------10----|
G|----10---------10----|
D|----10---------10----|
A|-----8---------------|
E|---------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------
