Lyrics & ChordsClick chords to see diagrams
This is based off a couple live performances so i'll put a couple different ways to play the chords that i've
seen him play. I prefer to play the 2nd option Bm7and Awhen I play acoustic but he always plays the Bm7the
first way i've put and on the chorus he plays the 2nd A. Play about and see what you think sounds the best.
Capo 4 (to play with the album put the tuner to around 426 Hz/live shows standard 440Hz).
