version 3
Tuning: Standard EADGBE
Capo: 3
Chords:
Bm: 224432
G: 320033 or 355433 - I feel 355433 may be easier to switch to after Bm
D: x00233 or 557775
A: 002220 or 577655
No capo? Chords:
Bm -> Dm: 557765 or 000231. 557765 preferred.
G -> Bb: 688766 or 113331 - Easier to transition from Dm to 688766.
D -> F: 133211 or 8-8-10-10-10-8
A -> C: 032010 or 335553 or 8-10-9-9-8-8
[1], [2], [3], [4] are cues for the vocals. They should line up with the string+fret to play.
For example, for [1], it lines up with "2", so for the first line of the first verse,
play the A string (5th string) on 2nd fret, you sing "losing" (chorus) at the same time.
You can play the verses by finger-picking too, but you wouldn't want to play the whole song like
that, would you? It would sound too monotonous! Hence I made the verses/bridges chords, and the
finger-picking (you can actually hear that in the song).
If you want to play the verses by picking, then
Bm -> [1]
G -> [2]
D -> [3]
A -> [4]
Use the same cues as you use for the chorus.
