It might be played with capo at first fret. The tab is not completely exact (I think that the chords are right but the position could be different) but is easy to play and it sounds good. | | | | | | | | |0-------------------------------|0-------------------------------| |------------1-------3-----------|------------1-------3-----------| |--------2---------------2-------|--------2---------------2-------| |3---------------3---------------|3---------------3---------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| | | | | | | | | |0-------------------------------|--------------------------------| |------------1-------3-----------|1---------------0---------------| |--------2---------------2-------|--------2---------------2-------| |3---------------3---------------|3---------------3---------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |0-------------------------------|0-------------------------------| |------------0-------2-----------|------------0-------2-----------| |--------2---------------2-------|--------2---------------2-------| |3---------------3---------------|3---------------3---------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |0-------------------------------|0-----------1-------3-----------| |------------0-------2-----------|--------------------------------| |--------2---------------2-------|--------2---------------2-------| |0---------------0---------------|0---------------0---------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
