Standard Tuning
This one was a little tricky because the Am7 and C sound very similar. I’ve
listened through a bunch of times and think/hope I got it right.
G 320033
Am7 X02010
Bm7 X24232
C X32010
Em 022000
D XX0232
The guitar riff overlaying the intro and between the chorus and 2nd verse ican be
played a number of ways, and here’s one:
e|-----7-5----------------|
B|---7-----7-------5-7-5--|
G|-7---------7-7-7--------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
