Try chords by Colbie Caillat

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Notes*:
   -Just strumming open chords will sound
   just fine singing and playing this tab
   is only in depth for those who wish to
   learn the song more in depth

   -Colbie's guitar player uses his fingers
   to pluck his strings rather than a pick
   (The finger picking pattern is on the bottom
   of the page)

   -It's odd but her guitar player also tunes
   the guitar down a half step and then puts a
   capo on the 2nd fret. (This is the same as
   keeping your guitar in standard and putting
   a capo on the 1st fret).

   -In the Chorus and Pre-Chorus he hammers-on the
   E MajorE on the 2nd fret of the D MajorD string with his ring
   finger on the offbeat after 1.

   -The actual chords (without a capo and without
   simplifying) are as follows:
    -Verse: Bbm9Bbm9 - Gbsus2add#12 - DbM7 - AbAb
    -Chorus: BbmBbm - Gbsus2Gbsus2 - DbDb - Ab/C
   the chords for the chart below are simplified
   so that it is easier to read.
