Notes: Ideal for acoustic guitar. On the album, the first verse has
the guitar playing on its own and then the bass etc kicks in for the
second verse. When playing on a single guitar I find it effective to
use the chords given below for the first verse, which are higher up
the fret board, and then using the traditional 'bassier' chords for
the rest. Give both a try and use which ever you prefer.
