[intro]:
(this little part of the ditty is played mostly by strumming the strings
separately, not in whole chord fashion, also, colin seems to maneuver his
fingers around a bit to get some very high notes in these chords. while
im not going to take the time to figure it all out note for note, the
chords listed below formt he basic foudnation for the intro, as well as
the rest of the song.)
D / A / Bm / G
<repeat once>
[verses]:
(now make all the chords skanky.)
D / A / Bm/ G
<repeat all through verses>
verse 1: i remember how it ...
<chorus>
verse 2: you always had a smile on your ...
<chorus until the end>
[chorus]:
(the same old chord progression is used here, except that colin decides
to take the Bm up an octave (this is a pain to play sometimes!) so keep
that in mind while playing.)
D / A / Bm / G
oh mr. smiley...
[guitar/trombone post-chorus]:
(same chords, but this time i believe they are played as either barred,
or else a barre dropping out the top 2 or 3 notes, leaving only the
bottom three.)
D / A / Bm/ D
