Chords
Chords with tab to emulate the walking bass notes and
fingerpicking pattern used in the official recording:
In its simplest form, you can think of this song as 3 chords (Dadd4, Em7, Asus2).
Here, I have tried to indicate shapes to think of for the picking pattern.
The chord I have labeled as Em7/A to follow the walking bass note pattern
could also be described as A9sus4.
The chorus pattern begins on the word "arms" at the end of each verse.
