Mellow
View chords used in this chart
Most of this song is based around the chord of C. If there are no chords above the words then the chords are just:
| C | C Ab | lots of times.
If you are trying to recreate the guitar parts then capo at the 3rd fret and play:
| A | A F |.
On the A chords, keep moving between A and A2 by lifting off the finger that is on the B-string on the 2nd fret:
E|----0-------0-----
B|----2-------0-----
G|----2-------2-----
D|----2-------2-----
A|----0-------0-----
E|------------------
