[Intro]
 
The intro starts with just the bass
 
G|------11-----|
D|--13---------|
A|-------------|
E|--11---------|
 
[Bridge] - When the drums kick in (0:24):
 
G|------11-----|
D|--13---------| 3x
A|-------------|
E|--11---------|
 
G|-----------------|
D|-----15>-----13>-| 1x
A|--13------11-----|
E|-----------------|
 
[Bridge] repeats 2x
 
[Verse] - When the “brass” kicks in (0:45):
 
G|------11-----|
D|--13---------| 8x
A|-------------|
E|--11------6--|
 
Note 1: In the live version he slides from 11 to 6.
 
Note 2: When the “brass” starts to go “whiny” (1:09) I can hear another mixed in bass that seams to play in
parallel doing something like:
 
G|-------------|
D|-------------| 4x
A|-------------|
E|--10/11----6-|
 
But take this with a grain of salt…
 
[Bridge 2] – Same but now it goes from the first phrase straight to the second:
 
G|------11-----|
D|--13---------| 1x
A|-------------|
E|--11---------|
 
G|-----------------|
D|-----15>-----13>-| 1x
A|--13------11-----|
E|-----------------|
 
[Chorus]:
 
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|-----------11(h)13/15------------15>------13>-|
A|--------13-----------11------13-------11------|
E|-11-11--------------------11-------11---------|
 
Note: If you like the live version, before the chorus starts it goes:
G|--------------------|
D|----11-13-13-11-----|
A|-13-------------13--|
E|--------------------|
 
[Outro]
 
G|-------------|
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|--11------6--|
