capo : 1

these chords are almost 100% correct , because i’ve watched her play this song . the intro
with an Em then A C , to do the next chord you have to slide up to the third fret and do
C there too . i don’t know what that chord is called so i’ll just write it this way
fret ) . after doing A C on the third fret , put your pinky finger on the last sting , the
string , i’ll call that chord C * . the you play a few notes on the same E string so keep
pinky on the E string but slide down to the third and second fret and play on those notes
G and F# ) . that’s the first part of the intro . on the second part you do the same thing
with some minor changes , slide up to the third fret and play the C ( third fret )
lift all your fingers of the fretboard except for your pointer finger and your pinky
slide them down to the 5th fret keeping the same position play och those then slide down to
third fret without lifting your pinky finger and play the G note . so that’s how you do
intro .
