Please IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS the website
automatically imposes, they often do not display the
best options for a particular chord sequence.
The power chords in the second break are just an
option to add more variety, if you wish you could
just use the three verse chords again instead.
Follow the voicings with the numbers listed below:
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo:
E = 022100 E5 = 022xxx
Asus2 = x02200 A5 = 577xxx
Bsus4 = x24400 B5 = 799xxx

Tom just passed away last night. Decided to have my guitar class learn this song. Thanks for making such an accurate version.
