E|---8----10----5----3----1------|
Note: you could stick to power chords for C and D (eg. just use strings E A D) but Ithink it sounds better with the G string added.
Note: at times the guitar slides from G to A eg.
e|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|---5-/-7-|
A|---5-/-7-|
E|---3-/-5-|
When this happens I've written G/A so don't interpret this as a new chord.
And on the bridge on the D5 chord alternate between D5 (x577xx) and x555xx a few
times.
Btw I haven't put the chords in the exact positions they change in respect to the
lyrics. It's too damn hard to do so.
Enjoy!
