Standard Tuning
Not sure if it's perfect but it sounds pretty good to me. Pay attention to the last two Choruses,
as the chords change slightly. Apologies if the above chords aren't labelled correctly, but as long
as you play it as indicated above, you should be fine! Enjoy! :)
Any corrections are welcome! I'm aware that in certain points, there should be extra (F C Csus2 C) parts
but when playing the song accoustic, it just didn't sound right to me so I took them out, but...
this is music! Play it however you fancy!!! :)
