Chords

Artist: Jason Mraz Song: Love Someone Album: YES! Notes*: drop D tuning. When I play it myself I like to keep my guitar in standard tuning. -In a live video it looks like Mraz is alternating from an maj7 (F#) to A perfect 8th (G)on the D string when he plays a Gmaj7. At least in the Chorus of the song. -In another live video I saw and in the official audio release it sounds like he's playing an open E on the high E-string (A Dsus2 chord) on the first and third beat and and then right away on the "and" of 1 and 3 (the offbeats) he goes back to playing an F# on the E-string. (going back to a D major chord) -Here's the official audio release: -Chord Sheet at the bottom of the page

Love is a funny thing

Whenever I give it, it comes back to me

And it’s wonderful to be giving with my whole heart

as my heart receives your love
