Chords:
D xx0232
D/F# 200233
D/G 300233
Bm x20233
Asus x02233
D/E 000232
(Notice how the B and G string remains the same on all of these chords. The song is basically
all built upon the D chord that you can hear throughout the entire song. What you do is
that you just move the base around)
The chord-transitions may be a little tricky so I suggest you listen carefully to the song in order
to fully unerstand.
By the way, I struggeled a bit with the lyrics so feel free to leave suggestions and improvements :)
Capo 2 to play along with the song.
