Try by Colbie Caillat - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Colbie Caillat Song List
Version 1 Version 3
            Notes*:
     -Just strumming open chords will sound
     just fine singing and playing this tab
     is only in depth for those who wish to
     learn the song more in depth

     -Colbie's guitar player uses his fingers
     to pluck his strings rather than a pick
     (The finger picking pattern is on the bottom
     of the page)

     -It's odd but her guitar player also tunes
     the guitar down a half step and then puts a
     capo on the 2nd fret. (This is the same as 
     keeping your guitar in standard and putting
     a capo on the 1st fret).

     -In the Chorus and Pre-Chorus he hammers-on the 
     E on the 2nd fret of the D string with his ring
     finger on the offbeat after 1.

     -The actual chords (without a capo and without
     simplifying) are as follows:
       -Verse: Bbm9 - Gbsus2add#12 - DbM7 - Ab
       -Chorus: Bbm - Gbsus2 - Db - Ab/C
     the chords for the chart below are simplified
     so that it is easier to read. 

                              Pre-Chorus
