Version 1Chords: C/G 332010 D/A 554030 G5 355000 D/F# 200232 Em 022000 Em/B 775000 During the verses, play the four bottom strings, then add in the top two during the chorus. All other chords, play as in the pop up boxes. Note that coming out of each instrumental, they'll play two bars of C/G, but coming out of each verse, they only play one. Also, at the end of Verse 3 (the "guard rail" part), there's a half-measure of D/A which leads into the rest of that extended section of Verse 3. Definitely listen to the song, just count "1 & 2 &" for that first D/A, then the rest should come naturally.
