Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Every mentioned Ebm7 is basically a hammer on from Eb7sus2: x 6 8 6 6 6 to Ebm7: x 6 8 6 7 6 The chord progression is not consistent in the verses: Sometimes Eb7sus2 is played and sometimes Ebm7. If all of that is too nitpicky for you, just play Ebm7 whenever you see either of them. Ebm7/Db: x x 11 11 11 11 (played with tremolo bar)
