Chords
The places for lyrics may be slightly off during the first half of the song but should be close. The intro can
be played multiple ways. The live version of the song shows Shawn using the low end of the 5th string but if
you are playing with no effects using the 6th string allows for a deeper sound and is easier to play. I will
make another version closer to how Shawn plays it if requested.
