This is an acoustic version, based off of how Ed performs it live
(as seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGmy0xfVukY)
This is is largely based off version 1 by LYNX-Music, so all credit should really
go to them. I simply put the capo on 6 and transposed the chords to be open (and
made minor alterations based on the chords Ed typically uses).
I am not sure about the G/F# - it was originally a Bm after transposing, but
based on the video and the chords he usually uses I think the G/F# might be
what he uses instead. Please feel free to suggest an alternative though, as
I am not good at identifying chords by ear.
**UPDATE 4/19/17**
To play the riff between the G and the Em7 on the verse/chorus, you can do the
following during the transition:
G Em7
e|---3-----------3------------
B|---3-----------3------------
G|---0-----------0------------
D|---0-----------2------------
A|---2------2----2------------
E|---3--3/5---0--0------------

Em7 (022033)
Cadd9 (032033)
