Chords

When I saw Blake play this live, he mostly used bar chords high up the neck (which is he gets that sound on the record), but I prefer using "normal" (read: open) chords where - if only for the reason it makes it easier to sing along with. Use whatever works best for you. [Intro] D F#7 Bm Bm7 G A D A
