Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Advanced This song uses some pretty unique chord voicings and I tried to capture those here. She also uses several walk downs and walk ups throughout the song that I haven't seen in other versions. [Note on chorus - Between the E chord and the C#m7, walk up the low E string on each beat, stopping at F# and G#. E.g. on the first chorus, the F# would fall on "My" and the g# would fall on "God"] Generally, she plays the root(lowest string) on the downbeat and then strums for the 2 and the 3.
