See bottom of tab for this unique verse.
CAPO: 3rd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of Cm)
VERY IMPORTANT:
The dissonant chord in the last line of the verses is
(in relation to the capo) an Fsus2(#11) chord,
comprising F, C, G and B (with the capo on 3rd fret,
those then sound as Ab, Eb, Bb and D). Unfortunately,
the site's automatic chord recognition software does
not recognise this chord. I also tried naming it
simply as G11/F, but the database didn't have that
chord name either. Therefore, for those not playing
this song with a capo as below, the site's transpose
function won't automatically show any transposition
of the Fsus2(#11) chord.
=====================================================
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em7 = 022030 Am = x22100 Dm = xx0231
Bm7 = x24232 C = x32013 Dm/A = x00231
Fadd9 = xx3213 F = xx3211 C4 = x33010
G4 = 320013 Ab = 466544 Csus2 = x30010
G = 320003 Fsus2(#11) = 13300x

For the majority of GUITAR chord box diagrams to more
closely match my suggested choices you need to
manually select the following choice of options by
clicking on the forward/backward arrows below
seven of the diagrams.
The main exception being the Fsus2(#11) for which the
site's database has no diagram at all available.
The remaining chord boxes can be the default first
option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every
time you view this tab
