Chords

For the sake of credit where it's due, version 1 of this tune got the intro correct but not the chords so I've borrowed the intro tab and created this more complete and accurate version based on one of

The chords below are not how Dave Plays the tune but are merely and option for people who have trouble playing Dave's single note riffs while singing. Read description of the Intro/Verse tab to interpret chord placement above the lyrics.

The LAST CHORUS is where the childrens choir sings in the studio version of this song, as most of us dont have a childrens choir handy this version adds a nice little change of pace so that the chorus doesnt get too repetitive. Anyways Tim is only playing 2 notes back and forth (Bb - Ab) before Dave starts playing the guitar again. The chords in this part are my interpretation of what sounds good here, strum each once. Or you could always just play the two notes like Tim does or simply slap the guitar in time using no chords at all. Chords: "*" after a chord means strum lightly once Chorus Bridge Last Chorus Ebsus2/Bb - 668866 E - 022100 or 022400 Bbm - xxx666-| F# - 2443xx B - x24442 Ab - xx6x44-| F#/F - 144xxx D/F# - 200232 Ebm/Bb - 668876 F# - 244322 The tab below is how Dave plays the intro. He arpeggiates 3 chords, the chords placement above the tab correspond to the placement of chords over the lyrics in the verses. Also note, the verse parts are played in 3/4 time and the rest of the tune is in 4/4
