Soak Up The Sun Acoustic chords by Sheryl Crow (Ver. 2)

The Easiest way to do the intro riff is by making an Emaj bar chord


Intro:
e----------------------|
B-------9--------------|
G-----9---9------------|
D---9-------9-9--7-7---|
A-7---------9-9--7-7---|
E-----------7-7--5-5---| 2x

In the actual song she uses continues to use the intro riff for the verses, but if
you want an easier way you can use these chords instead:
Verse 1:
E          B     A   E           B   A
