~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The intro for this song is just the initial G+G chord played for two =
measures. Also, on the second chorus, in addition to the extended =
ending, there is one other change. Instead of playing the Gm, play the =
chord below...

e:----1-------|
B:----1-------|
G:----1-------|
D:----3-------|
A:----1-------|
E:----x-------|

Don't remember enough theory to know for sure if it would be better to =
call this chord Gm/C or just Cm9. Probably Cm9.

This song sounds best played fingerstyle, makes it easier to get some of =
the stranger chords.

I would highly recommend getting a copy of this song to hear for =
yourself. It will help make this make sense plus give you a feel for =
the "little details."
