This will \r\ncause the D to change to Dsus, the Am to change to Amsus, and the Cadd9 to change to Cadd9*.\r\n\r\nChords used: \r\nG      3  2  0  0  3  3\r\nD      x  0  0  2  3  2\r\nDsus   x  0  0  2  3  3\r\nAm     x  0  2  2  1  0\r\nAmsus  x  0  2  2  1  3\r\nCadd9  x  3  2  0  3  0\r\nCadd9* x  3  2  0  3  3\r\n\r\n[tab]Intro:  [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]D[/ch](to [ch]Dsus[/ch])  [ch]Am[/ch](to Amsus)  [ch]Cadd9[/ch](to [ch]Cadd9[/ch]*)\r\n(These same chord hammers will be used in all verses and choruses, except for the last [/tab]\r\nline of the chorus; only the bridge changes.
