xThis is a simple song to learn, and, as opposed to the album version,
the acoustic (EP) version can be played by yourself, without the need of a back-up band
an electric guitarist.
I believe the tuning is standard, with a capo on the 1st, but you can choose to tune it up,
or ignore the capo, since it's only a half-step difference.
Just listen to the song and you'll get the timings.
Also, you can add little transitional chords (normally, in this song, a D transitions a
to Em nicely, or vice versa),
and since some parts of the song itself are hard to hear, there may be a few incorrect chords,
or a missed one here or there, but what I've got here is good for solo performance.
