Any questions or correction just PM me. Great song. Chords Used: Dsus2 - xx0230 G5 - 3x003x (0) (At certain points, when he plays the G5 or the slash chord, he plays the open high E instead) D/F# - 20023x (0) Em7 - 022030 A - x02220 A#dim7 - x1202x Bm7 - x2423x Em - 022000 There are several ways to play this song. 1. Strum each chord. Simple and easy. 2. Follow the tab's notes 3. Play it like John. Use the notes I give you as well as his percussive thumb slaps. I'll put a capital 'T' above where there should be a thumb slap. Listen to the song to confirm the rhythm. Also when there is a capital 'S' strum the strings for the chord denoted.
