Strumming

This one is in the same key as the studio recording and I tried to get it as accurate
as possible.
During the verse, play the first two chords as
             Gm      Bb
A------------1-------1-------1------
E--1--h-3----3-------1-------1------
C--2---------2-------2-------2------
G--0---------0-------3-------3------
 
During the small singing breaks between verses, the second to last chord sounds more like a Cm than an F,
although it can be played as F.
Also, in the chorus, Gm can be played as 1323 by simply throwing up the pinky on the E string.
