Tuning: Down a half step


Chords:

E MajorE|----0-------7-------4----------2----------0-----------------------------------|

E1 --- I play this as the first E MajorE in the chorus
E2 --- and this for the rest

For the verses, there are a number of structures you can use to play each of the parts.
This is just the first way I figured it out, and the way I have played it since.
You can change it as you see fit, perhaps by playing the first two parts as Open E MajorE and E MajorE minor.
