Eb D You'll never break my spirit, even when my body's black and blue. F F# G I've always liked this song but there's never been an easy or full version to play on an acoustic so here's my go at it. I like to use an open G, but try rockin' between G = 320003 and G2 = 320033. The Bb, I play as Bb = 113331 and the F as F = 133211. I tended to use barre chords for the whole of the song when I initially learnt it. Hope you like my rendition of this truly GREAT song. Matt Taylor rules. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLkU-FjWx7U |
