Hey, I have worked through and tabbed (all my own hard slog) a couple of
other travis songs this probably the simplest one on the album except for
sing, the only real difficulty i had was trying to figure out the strumming
pattern!For this song and a lot of other travis songs Fran uses some
really difficult ones, but once you have mastered the technique the song
will sound great!

I think for the intro part goes like this:  Still capo 3, but there is an
alteration of Em, with a kind of B5 thing, last one is with just the 2 on
the A string and all open strings.

 

It just sounded that there was something missing in the chord….also
this change occurs in the verses when Em is played.

E -----0----------0---------0-------0--------0--------0----------
