Chords

You will need to tune each guitar string down a step and a half to play this song. Chords are strummed once each for the first 8 bars of the song. For the second 8 bars of Verse 1 and for Verse 2 you could just strum the chords openly but I have included a tab component to play it like the record. Listen to the record for the exact timing of the notes and chords. [Chords] Em7 12x12000 D6 10x121100 Aadd9 5x7600 G6 3x5400 Em 022000 D6/F# 2x0200 G6* 320030 Bmadd11 7x9700 [Verse 1]
