Chords:
Am [x 0 2 2 1 0]
Em [0 2 2 0 0 0]
Dm [x 0 0 2 3 1]
F1 [0 3 3 2 1 0] Actually an Open F

F3 [0 5 5 4 3 0] Actually a G
F [1 3 3 2 1 1] Standard F bar chord
I copied most of this from Version 1 by stugreenham – Ver1 is really a great tab
and helped me trememdously. I am updating this to include the change of name on
chords C1/C2/C3 to F1/F2/F3, but as I mention above they are really just open F/F#/
G chords. I’m leaving them as F1/F2/F3 as it reinforces that the grip/position is
the same, just sliding up/down the neck. Also some of the chord placements were a
little off, so I made those adjustments and in the Bridge I believe it’s a quick
(denoted by the parenthesis) Em not Dm chord on the first two lines. Other
comments have said they just strum all strings open, except muting the Low E so
you might try that as well. I also mute the low E string but leave the high E
ringing open most of the time while sliding up on the F1/F2/F3, but not always -
depends on how clean you want it to sound. I hope this is helpful to other people
and want to say thank you again to stugreenham for the first submission. It’s
really well done and how I learned to play this song. Cheers!
