I forgot to mention, if you do not want to mute the chords you can hold down the first string 3rd fret throughout the chorus as shown: eb|--------------3--------3--------------| Bb|--------------1--------0--------------| Gb|--------------0--------0--------------| Db|--------------0--------0--------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--2--------2--------------| Eb|--------------3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| I'm barely breathing... Its a bit easier.
