~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The intro for this song is just the initial G chord played for two =

measures. Also, on the second chorus, in addition to the extended =

ending, there is one other change. Instead of playing the Gm, play the =

chord below...

e:----1-------|

B:----1-------|

G:----1-------|

D:----3-------|

A:----1-------|

E:----x-------|

Don't remember enough theory to know for sure if it would be better to =

call this chord Gm/C or just Cm9. Probably Cm9.

This song sounds best played fingerstyle, makes it easier to get some of =

the stranger chords.

I would highly recommend getting a copy of this song to hear for =

yourself. It will help make this make sense plus give you a feel for =

the "little details."
