**Ed’s not in standard tuning. If you want to play it like him: Remove the capo, change your tuning and transpose these chords UP 2x’s.** TABBED FROM AN EARLY LIVE VERSION! EADGBe C/B [x22010] Am7 [x02010] -If you strum the song and can’t hear a difference between the C and Am7, then use the C/B or make sure you’re strumming them properly- which apparently I wasn’t doing when I first tabbed this;) If you’re plucking the base notes of each chord when strumming during the verses, then on the C/B, the A string needs to be open which makes it an Am7. So those have been changed.
