Capo 3 for Eb
The tab on the site is OK but not accurate.
These are the chords as I could figure them out for how it is
played on the recording. There are several ways to play the
chords but I tried to be true to the recording. I’ve looked for
a way to contact Nathan Nichols to get the information but I
have not been successful. The picking pattern is thumb
picking the low E or A strings based on the chord and a
melodic pattern using the remaining strings/fingering.
The introduction is a theme that is repeated throughout the
song. I play it without the low E and this is easiest.
Hammer-on the second fret of the A string with the ring
finger, sliding up to the third fret where you form the Cmaj9
chord X32000. The fingering drops easily to the Fmaj9 –
X03210 and repeat. Otherwise it is a basic finger picking
pattern throughout. Listen to the recording and try to
emulate. The alternative for the theme which also sounds
nice is Cmaj9 – 332000 (actually 7) Fmaj9 – 103010
I’m showing the Base inversions for the chords for the sake
of our Bass players and Piano players who might want to
use the tab. I think they are correct.The guitar chord voicings
include these inversions where I was able.
If you are a beginner and you just want to strum the song
easily, try putting it in D where the chords will be much more
familiar. G2- 320033 D – X00232 G - 320003 Bm7 –
X04432 Amaj9 - 002424 Dmaj7 – 000222 Gmaj7 –
320002 Gmaj9 - 3X0202 A7sus - 002030 Am7 - 002213
Capo 1 for Eb.

these chords which I felt were true to the recording.
