A capo placed on the 2nd fret
Strumming pattern: I use D-D-U-U-D
If you listen to the song he quite often builds up from a Em to a G chord.
So if you want to add that part, well he does is the following on your lowest E-string.
E:|0-2-3 and then play the G-chord.
Feel free to correct me, send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and
I'll try to fix the wrong part(s). I know the chordsplacements aren't 100%
accurate, but I've done it by ear from the way I remember the song, so bare with me. ;)
