Special Fred Chords & Tabs
This is how I play the song…some parts maybe wrong, but it sounds good to me…any suggestions…lemme know
Intro/Verse
Very simple…just an A open chord pretty much and he changes it a bit…that’s about it

Chorus:
Easy too. I am not sure If this is 100% although I think it sounds very good. He
just combines the verse and the pre-chorus. Not exact strumming. Maybe its just the
same chords as in the verse.
