Chords in brief: Intro: E x4 Verse: E x6 E E Standard tuning. INTRO: Use your thumb to strum rapidly, but softly, up and down to create a tremulo effect. Slide your left hand between the chords for the intro. Sounds crazy, but I prefer it without barring the chords. E (repeat x4) e---0---0---0---0---0----------| B---0---0---0---0---0----------| G---1---2---4---2---1----------| D---2---3---5---3---2----------| A---2---3---5---3---2----------| E---0---0---0---0---0-0--0-0-0-|
Whilst strumming the E you might like to use your left hand thumb to play the low e-string (it kinda subsititutes for that bass/thump noise you can hear in the original recording). VERSE: Play the "A" as the higher bar chord and, just before you transfer to the F#m, use your little finger to fret on and off the high e-string 7th fret (you'll work it out). E e---5---7-7--5--2----0-------| B---5-----------2----0-------| G---6-----------2----1-------| D---7-----------4----2-------| A---7-----------4----2-------| E---5-----------2----0-------| E Take me down to where you hide, E Lay me down, lay me down inside, E What use now?
