Chords with lyrics
I assume he would title it "Without You"
It is best to play this song with the BB and Hi E MajorE strings locked with your
ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd fret like so:
G+G - 3 2 0 0 3 3
C majorC - 0 3 2 0 3 3
D MajorD - 2 0 0 2 3 3
E minorEm - 0 2 2 0 3 3
Personal preference to wrap the thumb around and get the 2nd fret of the low E MajorE on
the D MajorD chord, but it sounds good either way.
