6-8 time. What a beautiful song.
Modelled it on this live performance: https://youtu.be/7butkOxcx0A?si=eeKm8q76Nm1nIEIh
Drop tuning recommended
F#sus2 chord

move this shape along the fretboard accordingly for sus2 chords.
D5 is (0)0023x. Add the low D if you're on drop tuning, else mute the lowest string for D5/A
E5 is 222xxx in drop, else 022xxx.
For arrangement, I noticed it sounds good to alternate to picking in the second verse
and | [F#sus2] | [D5] [Asus2] |ate between | [F#sus2] | [D5] [Asus2] | and | [F#sus2] | [Asus2] [D5] |
This is purely my own interpretation, they don't do that bit in the song.
The x's in the chord sheet signify muted strums. The guitars do this in the acoustic version
to mimic the drums keeping the count on the high hat when the entire rest of the band drops out
in the build up to the next song section.
I am not sure, the rhythm guitar might play pure power chords in the chorus, but if you're playing this on
solo guitar, throwing in some sus2's there as well sounds nice imo.
