Chords

It's much easier not to tune down. I recommend to play the F chorus of the chorus this way:
e|-X-|
B|-1-|
G|-2-|
D|-3-|
A|-X-| E|-X-| So you can make a nice transition to the G (like he does, live) [Intro] Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 x2 [Verse]
    Asus2                    C          G      D/F#
Mama why does he treat me so cold, so cold, so cold

Asus2             C       G      D/F#
Why do I feel so old, so old, so old

Asus2                         C     G        D/F#
how long has he treated me unkind, unkind, unkind

    Asus2                    C       G        D/F#
or have I always been so blind, so blind, so blind

Asus2              C              G              D/F#
