Ok… this song uses an alternate tuning where you drop the two middle
strings to a “B” and an “E”, instead of “D” and “G”, making it EABEBe.
It also makes use of a capo on the third fret. If you don’t have a bass,
I’ll say that it’s possible to play the bass part on your fifth string,
at least when playing the chord G5. (even though it doesn’t sound quite
right..) Sorry I can't include lyrics. Anyway, have fun playing!
