Purple Bottle Chords & Tabs
These chords are not exact to what's played on the album, but it offers something to
along to. I like to play the first three chords of this song using only the E major chord
then the high and low E's and the B string are left open the whole time. then the
and C#m are play like their respective minor bar chord shapes with the E's and B
left open. It sounds kind of similar to the open E tuning that they probably use.
