CAPO AT 2nd FRET (Key of Bm)
N.B. The recording of this track is slightly flat in relation
to concert pitch, this might be caused by the backing track being
slowed down slightly before the vocal overdubs where added.
If you use an electronic guitar tuner, put the capo on
and tune each string down by -30cent, or to 432Hz, if you wish
to be able to play along with the recording.
(3/4 time)
