Chords

This song is recorded in the key of Eb, so you must capo on the first fret to match the pitch. The right-hand pattern is an arpeggio in waltz time (3/4) with the thumb leading a predominantly down-scale movement. Noel plays a hammer-on on the 1st string 2nd fret often and always drops in a D7 when he makes the turn into the bridge.
