Chords

This version plays close to the original with the high B and E strings ringing open for most of the song and the low E acting as a drone as well. Coupled with the strumming pattern, the open chord patterns keep the momentum moving throughout and really payoff when you hit the Amadd9 before the final chorus. One of my favorite chords to play! [Chords] E5: 022400 Aadd9/E: 042200 Emaj7no3: 06X800 E6no3: 04X600 Asus2: 002200 F#m11: 244200 G#mb6: 466400 C#m: X46650 F#7: 244320 Amadd9: 577500 A: 002220 E: 022100 Playing hints: - Play the E5 with your index finger holding the bar across 022200 and pinky on the Gstring 4th fret. Then hammer onto the Astring 4th fret to play the Aadd9/E exactly like you hear in the recording. - Hold the shape of E5 and slide up to play the Emaj7no3 and following chords.

                        E5
You'd be better off without me
