Chords:
Note:
The recorded version has a nice upbeat tempo and is in the key of Gb. In this
key the chords (in the same order as above) would be Gb, Db, B and Ebm.
Another option would be to capo the 1st fret and use chords in the key of F.
In this case the chords (in order) would be F, C, Bb and Dm. I tried
playing it both ways, but the chords changes were awkward and I did not care
for the sound. The key of G (used in my interpretation) provides for nice
full sounding chords. Enjoy!
