Standard Tuning EADGBe
An easy strummy acoustic singer/songwriter style way of performing the song in a way still true to the
original recording.
Intro riff: (played on the high e string)
e:--6-6-6--8-8-8--4-4-5----/
Main riff during the verse:
A D
e |------9----------10---| e|-----------------------------|
B |---10---10----10----10| B|--------14-----------15------|
G |-9---------11---------| G|-----14----14-----14-----14--|
D |----------------------| D|--14-----------16------------|
A |----------------------| A|-----------------------------|
E |----------------------| or an easier way: E|-----------------------------|
or you could play it an octave lower which makes it easier to sing the lyrics over:
A D
e--------------------------/
B-------2------------3-----/
G-----2----2-------2---2---/
D--2------------4----------/
A--------------------------/
E--------------------------/
