chords
xx2010 - C/E
xx0000 - o (?G+6)
320003 - G
xx0232 - d
022000 - Em
x32010 - C
* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses
small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
(C)D, (C)Em, etc. means strum the C real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C entirely
in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D (=?D5 (xx023x))
