To hear the song, copy and paste this link:
This is an arrangement aimed as an acoustic guitar
accompaniment for a solo singer.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
D5 = xx023x F = xx3211 G7sus2 = 3xx2x1
C6add2 = x30230 FM7 = xx3210 G6sus2 = 3xx2x0
Bm11 = x20230 F6 = xx3231 Gsus2 = 3xx23x
BbM7b5 = x10230 FM7b5 = xx3200 Gsus2/4 = 3xx21x
D5/A = x0023x Gadd9 = 3xx20x
h = Hammer-on notes ^ = Emphasise the beats
For the main riff I would use the middle and little fingers
to keep the shape on the 2nd and 3rd strings, and use the
ring finger to play the C bass, and the index to play the
B and Bb bass notes.
Here's two other alternative lists of chord options that could
work for the main chord progression too:
D = x507xx or D5 = xx0235
Csus2 = x305xx or C6sus2 = x30035
Bm = x204xx or Bm7#5 = x20035
Bb = x103xx or BbM7add6 = x10035
D5/A = x002xx or D5/A = x00235
