Tuning: Standard
 
Here's a 4-string standard version of the song. I've found playing it this way
makes for a much more accurate and on-beat E during the intro/verse line.
 
 
Verse 1:
     Em                            C               D

D|--|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|5-|------------------------------3-3-x---------3-5-5-x-----------|
E|--|5-3-x---5~--7-0~----------------------------------------------| x4
(that 5 is a leading tone. don't play it the first time though)
 
Pre-Chorus:
  Em
