version 2
Capo:1st fret
Putting a capo on 1 makes this a little easier to play, in my opinion. To make
it even easier
you can eliminate the C#m from the chorus altogether without missing much at
all. Just keep playing
the E instead. The "E F# G#" after "Take this job and shove it" can be
played as single notes
to make
things easier too.
