- Standard Tuning
- No Capo
*** A little note. When playing these chords I usually just play the bottom strings more
the top strings, it just sounds better that way. Also, with the Pre-Chorus, between the
and then Em9, and the Am9 and Bm11, you slide up the fretboard. It takes a while to get
putting your fingers in that position, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
plays it with a specific strumming pattern and if you listen to the song you can figure
out pretty easily. Good luck!
