Notes
- The timing is a little tricky in this song. In the first bar of the Bridge, I have included timing counts to give you some idea of the changing chords within the bar. If you find this difficult to follow, the easiest solution is to listen to the song and get a feel for it... once to get used to it, the changes come naturally.
- Beginners may like to try an easier key: D Major is much easier to play, and you don't have to play the bass notes leaving you with a list of very easy chords - D, Em, F, G, A, Am, C... use the Transposer to change the song key.
- If you are playing in D major, and want to play along with the video, you will need a capo on the 3rd fret.
- Excellent song - amazing artist.
