This is one of my few lessons that doesn't have a printable song sheet / PDF available. If you'd like to request I make one, let me know by clicking the button below! If there's enough demand I'll bump it toward the top of the list.
Capo 1st fret
I’ll teach this song using a capo on the 1st fret. The reason for this is so you can play G-C-D during the chorus sections of this song (which is very satisfying).
Chorus chords, full strumming
Just play G-C-D. For the D, I prefer the version below but you could just as well play a standard xx0232.
