Tuning Standard: EADGBe
Capo on 3rd Fret
The whole song is played as a waltz, hitting the root note with your thumb before plucking the
top few strings. Watch this performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASmAX9trOuU) to
understand the timing, especially with the interlude and bridge section, and when to
emphasize the open e string, which she does sometimes.
