Chord fingerings:
EADGBe
X32010 - C
XX0232 - D
X02210 - Am
320003 - G
Strumming in the verse is generally fast strumming of the bass strings,
quickly damped with the palm of the right hand (there's probably one of
those cute little italian words to describe this), except the D C at the
end of each line which is the full chord. Have a listen to the album.
Bend notation :
x(y) fretted at x, pre-bent upto y, pick and hold
x(y) fretted at x, pick and bend one half-step upto y
0.5
X fretted at X, pick and bend up half a half-step (one quarter step?)
\
x(y)x fretted at x, pre-bent (to y), pick and release bend back down to x
h is a hammer on
p is a pull-off
Here's the break written out in the key of Ab (i.e. this is exactly what
you play if you're using a capo at the first fret).
