fantastic song,so I decided to find the chords which are actually played. As opposed to the
other versions posted here, the guitar player Dan Smith does not use a capo in this song.
He seemingly tunes his guitars a half step down. The chord names can be seen in this tab are
named it as Am).
Bear in mind that Dan uses an awesome country-like fingerpicking style in this song. The real
and the chord with your first finger. I only give you the chords so you have to figure out all
the nuances and fingerpicking patterns.
