[halfsizedlife]

absolutly amazing cover. theres no words to express how beautifully you cover this

[SuperCath41st]

you have a very nice voice :) btw, if you have a capo, you can play it like that too : C , Am , Em , G ( capo 2 ) but that's just how I play it, your version if perfect too ! :D

[8000cheese]

@SuperCath41st try using e major instead of em, its hard to explain why but it sounds good

[SuperCath41st]

@8000cheese haha, my bad :P when I play, I do a E :) but I always mix the two in my head, don't know why .

[dbutman331]

[hoihiugufufy]

tabs?

[8000cheese]

@hoihiugufufy C-Am-E-G most of the song

[pedroo255]

i figured it out. Tuning is just the standard, but the E put it to E#.

[pedroo255]

great cover man. great voice, great piano!

Need the tuning!
