This is really an approximation of what Duffy plays on the piano. I think the
actual chords may be a little more complex
but this will let you play and sing along.
A note on the verses to this song. In the Dm chords, she is walking the root note
down a half step every half-
measure - from D to C# to C to B. You can get away with just playing a Dm but if
you want the flavor of the original,
try to do that. Also, for yet more flavor, you can play an A7 instead of an A
chord. Up to you.
Enjoy!
