Chords
I play the E, F, and G with the same fingering, which makes chord changes quick. I
strum this with my thumb on the bass runs and my first three fingers on the chord strums.
I also play two two-note riffs after the Em's in the verses.
D|-0-- -0-1-| A|--1- and -----| F|---- -----| C|---- -----| G|---- -----| D|---- -----|
These might be lead guitar in the recording, but it's easy to add them solo.
