I've tried to show how Tom played it on Saturday Night Live which is the same as the album version. This is what is played through all of the verse's and solo's. Just repeat as neccessary. e--2---2---2-3-2---0---0---0-0-0---3---3---3-3-3---2---2---2-3-2---- B--3---3---3-3-3---1---1---1-0-1---0---0---0-1-0---3---3---3-3-3---- G--2---2---2-2-2-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-2---2---2-2-2---- D--0---0---0-0-0-0-2---2---2-2-2-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0---- A------------------3---3---3-3-3---2---2---2-2-2-------------------- E----------------------------------3---3---3-3-3-------------------- The chorus uses the same chords but with a different strum pattern. Listen to the CD and you will figure it out easily. It is a great song that adapts well to an acoustic guitar. Email me yourquestions or comments.
