Chords are played in standard position ( A5 : X02220, G5 : 320033, D5 : XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings. There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it D4 for a
split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.
VERSE 1:
A5 G5
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,

Something to make us all happy.
A5 G5

Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
