Capo 4 to play these chord shapes along with the recording.
The intro pattern is also played throughout the verses, but they strum the Cadd9 chord
through
beats 3 and 4, varying the pattern slightly.
NOTE: When I look up the shape I have labeled as Bm* it shows up as Bmb6 but that
doesn't register.
