Okay, so this is my first time tabbing a song, so go easy on me.
Where it says D in the verses and chorus, that is the easiest way to play it. However, the more
correct way would be:
E-A-G-B-e
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | | 1st fret
| | | | |
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | 2 | |
| | | | |
- - - - -
| | | | |
| 1 | 3 |
| | | | |
- - - - -
I usually play it with a capo on 1, but it sounds fine without.
