G D C G Notes: - Use a capo at second fret. - I have my doubts about the second half of the chorus. Originally, I was using the Am and C alternating, but I stumbled across a neat chord I don't know the name of. I've been trying it in place of Am. (It is X 3 3 2 1 O (kinda like Am crossed with F)). Regardless, I may be wrong. - Corrections are welcome. Just email me.
