[Chords]
D5: xx0235
Dsus2: xx0230
D+: xx0332 (ie: D augmented chord; play every D+ chord after the intro as xx0330 for authenticity!)
D: xx0232
Bm/D: xx0432
D7: xx0532
G6: 320430 (for simplicity, a GM7 chord sounds nice while still sounding essentially the same: xx5432)
Bmadd11: x24430 (for simplicity, a Bm/D chord sounds nice while still sounding essentially the same: xx4432)
A7: x02020
A7b13: x02021
A7add13: x02022
Dadd11: xx0234 (actually a Dadd11+ chord without the 3rd interval, but oh well; dang automagic)
Dsus4: xx0233
General notes:
Use a chromatic tuner or other tuner that supports tuning to different Hz's (specifically: A = 450 Hz)
if you'd like to play along to the song authentically! Also, if that would make your strings too tense
or you have a fear of them breaking due to being tuned up nearly a full semitone, tune the guitar to
Eb standard after setting the tuner to A = 450 Hz and then put a capo on the first fret to still play
along with the song. :)
Also, the [Solo] section of the song is played arpeggiated for one guitar to the same chords. If you'd like
to play the solo itself instead, though, I've included it below the chord+lyrics sheet.
And finally, the [Outro] section's chords are approximated to be able to be nicely played, but the way
the song actually plays the outro is also included below the chord+lyrics sheet. It's a bit of a stretch
for the hands, but playing it authentically just sounds a good deal better in my opinion.
Otherwise, enjoy!
