Innocent Taylor Swift
This is how I saw Taylor Swift played it on the VMA 2010 (well, even though
she didn't play the entire song on guitar I had to figure out the
bridge ... hopefully, it sounds right to you because it does
to me, I think! I wouldn't say that this is 100% correct but you get
the idea of how to play this song on guitar. Message me if you
find out how to REALLY play it, the way TSwift plays it, I mean.
*Live Version: Standard Tuning
Studio Version: Capo 1st fret
About the chords. You see, I taught myself how to play and
I don't really know the name of all of the chords. So, I'll provide
you the fingering.
