• Song:

    You Could Be Happy Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Snow Patrol

This is an amazing song, and it sounds great on acoustic guitar

Alternatively you can use capo 3rd fret and use the chords D5, A, G
for the verse and Em, D5, G

Credit for tabbing this song goes to whoever posted it on youtube, 
this is the (closest) tab to what he played but I think it should be right
