Starts on: Dm

The entire verse is basically a D minor chord played over different bass notes. If 
you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his 
mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops 
later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea.

The chorus is pretty simple.
