version 5
I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?)
There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect)
(You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like
would be
F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords
as shown.
Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.
