The whole song is played with an A barre chord for those who do not know what that is it is
e|-5-
B|-5-
G|-6-
D|-7-
A|-7-
E|-5-
That one chord makes up most of the song until it gets to the chorus which is
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/max-bemis/325793.html ]
Looking for love in all the wrong places looking for love I was wrong
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-----------9-------9-------------9------9-----------9----------9------|
D|-7-----------7-------7-------------7------7-----------7----------6------|
A|-5-----------x-------5-------------x------5-----------x----------7------|
E|-x-----------5-------x-------------5------x-----------5----------x------|
and he holds that last chord until he starts back with the A chord
That repeats the whole song until he gets to
And all the time I looked for you
e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|-9----------------9-----------------9--------|
D|-7----------------6-----------------7--------|
A|-5----------------7-----------------9--------|
E|-x----------------x-----------------x--------|
Then it goes back to the chorus just listen to the song and it will make sense. Also,
while he plays the A chord he does a down strum beat then this little up down type of
pattern but everything is mostly just a down strum.
