On the A chord, he hammers the B string (2nd from highest), second fret - x02020
Technique stuff:
The F#m chord may sound a bit off, but it's the bass note that you should listen for.
Also, think of this song as 4 beats per line, but then subdivide every beat into 6
mini beats. That's how he plucks. For example, say "Cheerio Cheerio" for each
beat.
He likes to hit the bass note on the first beat of every chord, the G string on
the 2nd triplet (or the Chee of the second Cheerio), then the B string on the "a"
of the 2nd triplet (1+a2+a) (or the "O" of the second Cheerio).
In the album version of this song, in the bridge (Lumière darling) the chords are C#m A E B.
Verse
[E] [F#m] [A]
You look so wonderful in your dress
[E] [F#m] [A]
I love your hair like that
[E] [F#m] [A]
The way it falls on the side of your neck
[C#m] [B] [A]
Down your shoulders and back
[E] [F#m] [A]
We are surrounded by all of these lies
[E] [F#m] [A]
And people who talk too much
[E] [F#m] [A]
You've got the kind of look in your eyes
[C#m] [B] [A]
As if no one knows anything but us
Pre-Chorus
[A] [E] [B]
And should this be the last thing I see
[A] [E] [B]
I want you to know it's enough for me
[A] [E] [B]
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
Chorus
[E] [F#m] [A]
I'm so in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
Verse
[E] [F#m] [A]
You look so beautiful in this light
[E] [F#m] [A]
Your silhouette over me
[E] [F#m] [A]
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
[C#m] [B] [A]
is the Tenerife Sea
[E] [F#m] [A]
And all of the voices surrounding us here
[E] [F#m] [A]
They just fade out when you take a breath
[E] [F#m] [A]
Just say the word and I will disappear
[C#m] [B] [A]
into the wilderness
Pre-Chorus
[A] [E] [B]
And should this be the last thing I see
[A] [E] [B]
I want you to know it's enough for me
[A] [E] [B]
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
Chorus
[E] [F#m] [A]
I'm so in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
[E] [F#m] [A]
So in love
