This is such a great song about a beautiful love affair.
It's a little tricky to master the timing but it's totally worth the effort.
It's best played fingerpicked with a 2/4 style but watch for the timing in the chorus
The song is basically a D with the bass running from open D on the third string down to open E
The D/D is a little redundant but emphasizes the D bass in the progression
