CAPO 2ND FRET - all chords relative to capo CHORDS: Em7: 022030 Am7: x02010 D: x00232 B7sus4: x24252 B7: x24242 A7: x02020 F#7: 242322 G: 320033 C: x32010 Listen to the song for strumming pattern. It is easy to fill out the sound with simple hammer-on/pull-off accents (for example, play Em hammer on Em7 to start each verse). The only one that is crucial for the structure of the song is the B7sus4 to B7 transition. The B7sus4 is only one stroke long, but is necessary to make the song sound complete.
