You do need to listen to the song to see how it's played. I've really only included the bare essentials (the chord shapes, and a couple of strumming patterns). The song starts off with the bottom C hit really hard, and the following harmonics: D-----7---------------12--------------------------- B-----7------5--------12--------------------------- F-----7------5--------12--------------------------- Eb-----------5--------12--------------------------- G-------------------------------------------------- C-------------------------------------------------- This next figure gets used at a couple of points in the song: Fig A D----------------0---------0-----5----------------- B----------------0---------0-----5----------------- F----------------0---------0-----5----------------- Eb-------------0---------0-------5----------------- G--------5-7-8-------7-8---------5----------------- C--------------------------------5----------------- Here's how the song hangs together: Verses 1, 2 & 4: Shapes : -------- C G Eb F B D ------------ 7 7 7 0 0 0 Fig A 5 5 5 5 5 5 Fig A 3 3 3 3 3 3 8 8 10 10 8 8 0 0 1 2 2 0 8 8 9 10 9 8 7 7 7 0 0 0 Fig A 5 5 5 5 5 5 Verse 3 ------- C G Eb F B D ------------ 7 7 7 0 0 0 5 5 5 5 5 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 9 9 9 9 9 9 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 9 9 9 9 9 9 5 5 5 5 5 5 Have fun...
