Meg & Dia - Masterpiece
Something Real, 2006
Doghouse Records
This is what I would assume the song sounds like.
Standard tuning (EADGBE)
Capo: 4
Original song would be E,B,C#m,A, and G#m chords without the capo.
I made it somewhat easier by adding the capo on 4 and using C,G,Am,F, and Em chords instead.
Enjoy.
