Standard Tuning
No Capo
Note: It's easier start playing with your 3rd (middle) finger on the G string and
your 4th (ring) finger on the D string and your pinky on the A string and then use
your pointer finger for the bar chords as you slide the 3 fingers up the frets.
You can also strum a single string/just the note which sounds similar to what is
heard in the song:
