version 3
Capo on the first fret. In the Intro and Outro I've tried both D-Bm-Em-G and
D-Bm-A-G but having played to the track I believe it's more accurate to play D-Bm-Em-G. If you disagree with me,
please do so nicely in the comments. The lick that he plays in the Intro and Outro also appears at the end of
Chorus 1 as it leads into Verse 2 and so your timing for the Bm-Em transitions should match to the lick the
same way that it did when he played the lick in the Intro.
