beats ^ ^ ^ ^
This is played as three 'phrases' G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD FF C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC C majorC C C majorC C, so hit
the G+G in the second bar (Marked *) hard to make it sound like a new phrase.
Verse/Chorus
Chords as per album version. Picking is the root/bass note of each chord held
for about three-quarters of a beat followed by three quick strums of the top
three strings (like in the last bar of the intro of the live version).
Only other difference from the CD is trills on the C majorC and FF of each line of the
verse:
C majorC FF C majorC
e -0---0--------1-------(0)--
BB -1---1--------1---h-p-(1)--
G+G -0---0---h-p--2--0-2-0-----
D MajorD -2---2--0-2-0-3--------2---
A augmentedA -3---3-----------------3---
E MajorE ---------------------------
