There are a couple of chord shapes which I need to explain:
Three chords based around Amin. which I'll call:
Am Am sus2 Am sus4
(Am2) (Am4)
N ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
||||1| |||||| ||||1|
1 ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
||23|| ||23|| ||23||
2 ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
|||||| |||||| ||||4|
And three chords based around Dmaj. which I'll call:
D D sus2 D sus4
(D2) (D4)
N ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
|||||| |||||| ||||||
1 ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
|||1|2 |||1|| |||1|2
2 ++++++ ++++++ ++++++
||||3| ||||3| ||||34
The opening sequence to the song. I've left in timing counts (the song
is in 4:4 as far as I can tell)..
