Fairly straight forward song, this is my interpretation of it. The song uses the same 3 chords throughout,
however the sequence does change a little between the verse/chorus. You'll see what I mean.
Chords have been placed as specifically as possible so you know what syllable to play them on - the only
place they're not so precise are the spoken parts in the later pre-choruses; these are a bit more difficult
to pinpoint.
Capo on 3rd fret, transpose +3 if you don't have a capo.
Chords used:
D - 000232
