PLAY RIFF THROUGHOUT THE VERSES
G6/B: X20000 or X20030
Am/G: 302210 Fmaj7: 1X3210 C/E: 032010
D9: XX0230 D9/C: X3X230 G/D: XX0433
Suggestions from DiddyD:
Instead of Am/G a C/G (332010) works as well, I think I`ll play both.
The bass progression in the Chorus can be this, too:
G: xx5433
G/F: xx3033
Em: xx2000 (or xx2033)
G/D: xx0003 (or xx0033)
