This song can be played two ways. Either with a capo on the third fret using the
chords C, F, Am and G. Or, if you don't have a capo use the chords D#, G#, Cm and
Bb. I have wrote the chords out relative to the capo being on the 3rd fret, but
just transpose the tab to make it relevant to how you're playing it (transpose it
up 3 half steps).
Chords used:
C (X32010)
F (133211)
Am (X02210)
G (320033)
Or if you're not playing it with a capo:
D# (X68886)
G# (466544)
Cm (X35543)
Bb (688766)
