note: Kacey has been singing this new one on her tour in Europe, so let's hope this makes the final cut
for her next album :) Until then there are only live versions, from where this was tabbed.
Kacey does a little picking in the middle of the strumming on the "G - Cadd9 - D", and the "D - Cadd9 - G"
which I think it goes like I put  bellow. Initially  I wrote the chords down (G, G/B, etc) but it gets
confusing because she changes chords fast.
