Chords

The fingerpicking in this tab attempts to be faithful to the recording, but there's a lot of loose variation throughout the song. I've listed the chord shapes below if you'd rather feel it out by ear. // Intro and Verse 1 0 5 x 0 x x 5 4 x 0 x x 5 5 x 0 x x 7 4 5 x x x // Refrain 9 0 0 8 x x *or 9 0 12 x x x 7 0 0 7 x x 5 0 0 5 x x 0 0 4 x x x 7 4 0 x x x 5 2 0 x x x 0 9 0 0 x x 0 7 0 0 x x 0 5 0 0 x x // Verse 2 0 5 0 x x x 5 4 x 0 x x 5 5 x 0 x x 7 4 5 x x x 9 5 0 0 x x // Bridge 5 0 5 0 0 x 0 5 0 0 3 x 9 9 0 0 x x *or 9 0 0 8 x x 7 0 0 7 x x *or 7 7 0 0 x x 5 0 0 5 0 x 0 0 4 1 x x 5 0 0 4 x x [Intro]
