CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded approx. Key of B) Two videos of versions in standard pitch... A live version in the Key of C (Capo at 3rd fret to match it) A much later live version in the Key of A (So no capo required for this version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0TGYIShQw8 IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database and often don't show the best options for a particular chord progression. Just use the voicings suggested in the text column numbers A = x02220 or 577655 A4 = x02230 G = 320003 or 355433 Asus2 = x02200 D = xx0232 E = 022100 C#7 = x46464 Em = 022000 Dm/F = xx3231 or 10323x Dsus2 = xx0230 C#m = x46654 E4 = 022200 Dm = xx0231 Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Intro]
