You can also play it half a step down on the neck and it would sound the same since there are actually no open notes played in the song. Or just play it half a step high than John and avoid the hassle :P Chords ¯¯¯¯¯¯ e|---x----x----x----x----x----x--| B|--10----7----2----3----3----5--| G|--11----7----2----4----2----6--|

So don't hassle with your middle finger in this one... So this is modified, not an album version. You can play the extra stuff as you like, but in the video they are played exactly like this (in verse, chorus, interlude). The biggest changes are in the chorus part of the song.
