*Its almost impossible to hear what bass note he plays for this chord, if any. Considering
that, the bass note I've chosen here fits perfectly and makes sense. The D# bass note usually
played in a D#m doesn't sound quite right here so instead I picked an F#, an octave
below the
F# that makes it a minor chord up on the 7th fret of the B string. Well, It also sounds pretty.

There it is, a beautiful little song. Now try singing it without doing an impression of his
French accent. Good luck!
