This song is actually recorded one fret higher than standard tuning. However, we've done it in standard E tuning to keep things simpler for you.

If you want to play along with the original song, then rather than tuning all your strings up by a semitone (Low F A# D# G# C F), then use a capo instead at the 1st fret. The capo effectively replaces the nut of the guitar, allowing you to play higher up without retuning.

The song is at a gentle pace, so you don't need to strum like fury. But some of the chord changes will need a bit of work. The song is a little unusual in that it uses a lot of partial chords. This means lots of thumb muting to exclude the lower 2 strings.

The song starts with a Dsus4 chord, alternating to a D major chord. Just add / remove your little finger whilst strumming - as shown.

The other main chords you'll come across during the start of the song are:

E minor
F# minor
B minor
Asus4 / A major
G major

After the chordy part for the verse, there are some nice slow arpeggios (chords played note-by-note rather than strummed) during the song's chorus:

D major
B minor
E m7
A add4
D major
G maj7
E m7
A add4

Then its back to strumming the same chords as earlier for the next verse. Again, followed by the arpeggios for the chorus.

After that, everything shifts up by a fret. The song moves higher, and the chords are mainly strummed 3 times instead of twice. The chords for the verse are now:

Eb major
F minor
G minor
F minor
Eb major
C minor
F minor
Bb minor
C# minor
F minor
G minor
Bb sus4
Bb major

The last chorus / outro is arpeggios again, this time playing:

Eb add9
C minor
F m7
Bb major (repeat / fade out)
