Chords

Keep in mind this is the Movie Version by Russell Crowe, without a Capo. I wrote this because it is in a different key from the Original Broadway version. You alternatively can use a capo for this version of the song, by playing the Original Broadway chords on CAPO 8. However that is a huge pain, especially without a cutaway on your guitar. ****All C chords played in this song are "sweet C" chords (much like an "Eagle's G"), indicating that you play the low E string with your ring finger, and play the A string with your pinky, or small finger. The tab for that is this: (332010) ****Use Barre F when playing this song, over Open F. All other chords are played normally, unless otherwise specified in the tab below.
