Repeat Verse and Bridge
Outro: F# G F# G
Note: Just get the rhythm down for the F# and Bm verse changes and you'll figure it out.
The verse chords are easy, but you can play an even easier alt voicing Mulcahy uses.
Instead of
barre chords, he uses F# x2344x and Bm 2344xx. It sounds more like the album version and
it's pretty easy to
shift back and forth.
Everything else is barre chords however (the intro, bridge, outro etc).
