chords

xx2010 - C/EC/E
xx0000 - o ( G+G+6)
320003 - G+G
xx0232 - D MajorD
022000 - E minorEm
x32010 - C majorC

* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses

small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)

h is a hammer on

p is a pull off

(C majorC)D, (C majorC)Em, etc. means strum the C majorC real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C majorC entirely

in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D MajorD (= D5D5 (xx023x))
