- The accent sign > indicates that a note, chord or passage is to be played louder or more forcefully than surrounding music.
- All the augmented chords (Eaug, Baug, Caug) can be written as E+, B+, C+. They are like major chords except the 5th is sharpened - formula: 1 - 3 - #5.
Eaug & Caug share the same notes - find out why. - Piano Players playing with the video: Use the transposer starting in Bb Major. The key change hasn't been implemented for the sake of guitarists, so you will need to pause at the key change, and change the key to B major on the Transposer.
Beginner Guitarists
Playing with the video: Because of the key change from G Major to Ab Major after the 3rd verse, the chords may be fairly difficult, especially for beginners.
🔹For this reason we have charted the whole song in the easier key G Major.
🔹Just before the key change, pause the video and move the capo from the 3rd fret to the 4th fret and carry on.
Don't be put off by the unusual chords as they are very easy to play... all left and right-handed chord charts above, and Guitar Tabs in the original key of C Major below.
