STANDARD TUNING: (EADGBE)
CHORDS USED:
(all fingerings relative to capo)
D7 = X57575
Fm6 = 130111 (use thumb)
G7 = 353433
P.S.
I like playing this song barred, but you can of course use
regular fingerings for any or all of these chords. Might be
a tad hard to play barred with capoed 5th fret with say,
heavy gauge bronze. :)
