Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: A augmentedA

Difficulty: Novice

This is based on the acoustic recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8KMRbiurJQ&t=0s&index=19&list=WL
She plays in D-Standard but it's not necessary to tune down, so I tabbed it in E-Standard.
(You can transpose it 2 steps down to play the DmDm in the bridge as an open chord if you want)
She never uses a pick btw.
