Chords
The song is in F#, so tune down a half-step to play in G. I used a video (linked below), so the timing
might be slightly different from the studio version.
Note on the C/G chords: when he goes G C/G G, he's hammering his middle finger 2nd fret D string,
index finger first fret B string, so it'll look like a C chord with your ring finger on the E (to make a G
bass note instead of C). Other times he just plays a C/G where he uses his pinky on the A string and ring
finger on the E. As for the C6, he just hammers his middle finger on the 2nd fret G string. Lots of middle
finger hammer ons, and he does some fancy bass note stuff that I tried to reflect below. Usually has his
pinky on the 3rd fret high e!
Enjoy!
