Chords below are ACTUAL chords. Hence, a voicing may be e.g. 022100, but the sound you'll make is a D-chord. I've included chord voicings and notes in each section of the song as some chords are unusual. The CHORUS chords are predominately jazz voicings, which look fierce, but with practice can be nailed. INTRO: Intro Chords: D 022100 [strum D gently] VERSE: Verse Chords: D 022100 G x02220 F#m7 464444 Bm x46654 Gmaj7 x02120 Gm(maj7)add6 x02112 Gm7/F 3x2010 E7 x44320 A7 x2120x D G D Take my hands, they're all I've got F#m7 Bm Gmaj7 Gm(maj7)add6 I ain't got no nothing to prove but I forgot D G D Take my heart I'll wear it out Gm7/F D E7 The friends I make here all come at extra cost A7 What say we just get lost CHORUS: Chorus notes: The first four chords are jazz voicings. These are not barréd, in case you were wondering... I've indicated the fingers to use for each of these chords, which may help. It will still take practice to nail the transitions, though. But it's worth it...!
