Tuning: EADGBE
An awesome song from an incredible talent
Depending on the version, the key changes... but on the official studio recording it's
tuning with capo at position 1. The chord shapes here (play all the chords open!) are
to the open tuning on the guitar. Don't forget the lovely little passing note - the D/Db
the refrain, it really adds further to the melancholy of this beautiful song

Now all we have to do is learn to sing like Lissie(!)... I hope I've done it justice!
