Tabbed by Sam de Brunner
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1
Chords relative to capo
In the last chorus, at the end of each line, after the C,there is a little walk down to the Am
which sounds good. Go from a C chord to a chord with one finger on the first fret of the B
string and one finger on the second fret of the A string, then play the Am chord.
When there is a G*, play just the low E string of the G chord once (on the third fret relative to the capo)then play the fifth and seventh fret of the same string once each before moving on to the next chord.
