To me it wasnt clear how to play the verse so I figured it out.
First verse, play G chord like this - use your pinky when going to 5th fret
and your ring finger to move to 3rd and 2nd fret (it's a bit weird but it works).
I think Jack plays it in different tuning but in standard tuning like this sounds good to me.
G
DU DU DU DU D UDU
|33---55--33--22--3---000---|
and then "The children's laughter sang"
C C with pinky on 4th fret
|----0-----0------0-----0-----0--|
|----1-----1------3-----3-----3--|
|----0-----0---0--0--2--2--0--0--|
|-2--2--4--4------0-----0-----0--|
|----3-----3------0-----0-----0--|
|----0-----0------3-----3-----3--|
DU DU DU DU DU
Chorus
G - Fmaj - C - D
|---3----0-----0----2----|
|---0----1-----1----3----|
|---0----2-----0----2----|
|---0----3-----2----0----|
|---2----x-----3----x----|
|---3----x-----0----x----|
Struming is DU DU. The second DU is stronger than the first one.
In the end play the Intro again
So this is how I play the verse. Dont have the solo.
