Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Capo III (to transpose the notes just add 3 to each fret number, makes it easier to find 
higher notes)


-This is based off of seeing him in concert, the album version and live videos.
-The chords are given according to their shapes.
(in brackets are the actual pitched chords you're playing if you want to play without a capo)
