Coda Am C Am C Am C D6sus2 Am C ``` This song is normally played with the guitar tuned in C, which is a bit of a hassle. So worked out a very simple version in standard tuning. Unfortunately it doesn't fit playing along with the song, but just singing along to it is okay. Enjoy! Editor's note: try tuning 1/2 step down. So C, x32010, should sound as B major.
