All chords last for 1 bar except for the intro and the part of the chorus that
B C# D# A# Cm D# G# A#Two slash chords included. Of course you can leave out the note after the slash
and just use the regular chord shapes.
C/E x-x-2-0-1-0
Dm/C x-3-x-2-3-1
Easier to play when transposed down 3 steps. To get back to the original key
put on a capo 3rd fret.
