version 2
Verse - E, Esus
Pre-chorus - A7/E, A2, A7/E, B2
Chorus - E, Esus
Bridge (Easy livin') - E, Esus - C*, D*, E
It may sound a little strange, because the bass plays a few things differently
than the guitar progression goes. However, this way works best when playing
just with one guitar. Hope I haven't left anything out, but if I have, it's
probably pretty much the same as above.
Here are the chords:
E: 022100
Esus: 022200
A7/E: 0x2120
A2: x02200
B2: 024400
C*: x35500
