Standard Tuning: eBGDAE
Capo 1
There is a few times during the song where Trevor hammers on two different: the strings
1st time he does it, he hammers on the high E string (3rd fret) with his pinky. And the
next time he does it is after the Am chord, he hammers on the B string, 3rd fret and
again with his pinky. The same exact hammer on the B string goes for the next chord, but it
changes on the last "C/G" chord, where (at least I think he does) hammer on the 3rd fret
on the A string.
On the "C/G" chord, keep your 1st finger on the B string, but move finger 2 and 3 to the
E and A string as if you were playing a "G" chord.
There is a weird F chord, and I don't know what it's called. (So when I write "F" just
play this chord) Here is my best way of showing you how to play it:
e: --x--------|
B: --x--------|
G: --0--------|
D: --2--------|
A: --3--------|
E: --1--------|
