#I recommend doing the troups of three with fingers 1, 3, 4.  This way,
#you can slide up from 6-7 on the final chord with your pinky and your
#index will be in position over fret 4 to begin the cycle again.
#
#I recommend barres for the chorus chords, to reproduce the original
#feeling.  Try the 5th position A and D, 7th position E, 2nd position
#F#m, and 4th position C#m.
#
#Enjoy!
