Tuning:

I've worked this out as an acoustic version of the song. It plays okay along with the album version, leaving out the solos of course. I'm pretty sure the chords and lyrics are good, but corrections welcome! Intro: x x x x x x x x 11 9 7 6 12 11 9 7 x x x x x x x x Chords are: Intro and verse: D A Bm A Chorus: D C#m Bm A Key Change/Bridge: F Em Dm C If you've got a friend to make it a better version have them play one stroke D then A for each line in verse, then One stroke at beginning of each bar in chorus/bridge, ringing nicely. D A Bm A D A Bm A
