Song: To Be The One
Artist: Ryan Adams
Album: Heartbreaker
Tuning: Standard (Capo on 3rd, so the G C and D are actually Ab Eb and Db)

Intro: (one |...| represents one beat) so it's like this:

1   2   3   4and  1   2   3   4and
G| (320003@1)G| (320003@1)G| (320003@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C | G| (320003@1)G| (320003@1)G| (320003@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C | 

And he just picks the chords lightly, and plays harmonica on top of it.
The rest of the song goes like this:

         G (320003@1)                          CWell (x32010@1)the pills I got they ask me lets go out for a while
