From 2013's Let It All In album
I've made a tab out, followed by a fake arrangement with the chords only
Standard tuning
Capo 4 to play along to the original
D xx0232
A x02220
G 320003
Em 022000
Em(addmaj7) 021000
Em7 020000
Riff - this pattern is the basis for most of this wonderful tune
It's practically one note per syllable of the lyric so the rhythm isn't too bad
Don't be intimidated!
