D (melody AAAG G F#F#F#E D) repeat 1x
NOTE: G and Gm in coda are held for 4 beats each. Hold “soul” as long as possible,
while playing tag melody on top. Start tag on beat 1 of 3rd measure.
End with 4 measures of D strumming. Single note in parenthesis is for bass.
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included some of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings. The intro is my adaptation of how
Jeremy plays it. Please feel free to modify it as necessary for your
preference.
