Capo: 3 Tuning:

Fairly straight forward song, this is my interpretation of it. The song uses the same 3 chords throughout, however the sequence does change a little between the verse/chorus. You'll see what I mean. Chords have been placed as specifically as possible so you know what syllable to play them on - the only place they're not so precise are the spoken parts in the later pre-choruses; these are a bit more difficult to pinpoint. Capo on 3rd fret, transpose +3 if you don't have a capo. Chords used: D - 000232 G - 320033 A - 003330 [Intro]
