OK, here goes. You need to tune the guitar to open D (DADF#Ad). However, as the top two
strings are not needed, I normally just retune the 6th and 3rd strings, cos I'm lazy! I
am doing this from memory, so I am not 100% sure that the notes for the Em chord are
completely accurate, but they sound alright when I play it. Corrections gratefully received!
If you just wanna strum along in normal tuning the chords are:
D(sus4), Bm(6), Em(9)
Numbers in brackets indicate the voicings he changes between - sounds OK just playing
the basic chords as well though.
Played fingerstyle:
Intro/Verse:
[D(sus4)]
[Bm(6)]
Repeat twice for the intro, 4 times for the verse
Chorus:
[Em(9)]
Such a cool song. This was the first Tom Mcrae I ever heard - still a favourite! Anyone
else at the Gig at Islington on Nov 23rd? It was awesome. Can't wait till the next time
I'm gonna have ago at the solo in a bit - watch this space...
