Tuning:Standard
Key: F Major
The harmony (chord progression) throughout the song is very colorful. To say it
differently, the instruments and melody give the song a different feel than
other songs with the same (or similar) chord progression, thus playing regular
chords will not replicate the mood of the song well.
*Note: If you cannot play barre chords very well, try putting a capo on the 1st
fret and transpose (using the transpose button on this page) down one half step
(to E major).
