Here's my interpretation of the song. I've also included the chords I use to play it.
Form 2 B barre chord sounds nearly identical to the Form 1. However, it makes it a little
to play the song for some guys, since it's in the same area as other chords in that
I have not included the intro to this song. Advanced guitarists can use Ebm and B
fragments, while alternating between the Ab and Gb on the second string to mimic the
part. Credit goes to Curt B. for the intro. Anyone wanting to learn how to play that part
drop me a PM.
