Much easier to play with the original recording in the key of A, Capo 1.

Matches how she plays it if you transpose down three steps and add capo 3. It is much easier to play too and sounds better.

Great for solo acoustic. Take these chords and make it your own, everything you need is right here. Thanks for the tab.
