Key: Bb / Gm
Capo 3rd Fret (plays like a song in G5 / E5 with the capo)
Below are the chord fingerings if you have the capo on the 3rd fret. At the
bottom , I have also shown the "real" chord names if you want to play without a
capo or on a different instrument. This is a really sweet song, I hope you enjoy it!
Here are the chord fingerings of the somewhat-not-obvious chords if you are
playing the capo version. If you are playing without a capo, you'll need to use barre chords.
