From Tori Amos' 2017 album "Native Invader". Made much easier by playing in "G" on Capo 3 so you can still be in the correct key of the song. Tempo and strumming patterns should allow you to play along but do not match the acoustic guitar in the song, this is based off the piano. Edited to fix bridge after re-listening.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate
Tuning:	E A D G B E
Key:	G
Capo:	3rd fret

Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

This song is in Bb, easiest to play it on Capo 3 in G for guitar.
Before the chorus be sure to walk down your Em to a G via F#.
I l ike playing an F#/D because it sounds close to the album.
Do not play the UG suggested F#/D, it's a different chord.
