Chords with lyrics
Standard Tuning
No Capo
I personally would use Bar Chords on everything except the chorus but thats up to you. Good Luck!
Power Chords for intro
The C majorC chord slides up to the D MajorD Chord just before dropping back down to G. This is in the verses too
as displayed in the intro.
