Little riff on c/d (C G A G A D)

craiz730 is correct - Jim played it in E. Regardless, good job on the chords. People can transpose it to accommodate the key of their voice.
+8

The F#m above "But I'm livin' the dream" and in the following verses should be an F#. It is not a minor. Other than that, good job!! Saved me some time.
