Okay, a lot of people make a lot of people cover I'll be by Edwin McCain and
So far I've not seen anyone do it correctly, so I wanted to show
There's the same everybody messes up in the same place, so I wanted to show exactly how it goes
Everyone knows the B [B] intro
to the E
[E] And you can play that one like that or you can come down here and it's all the [B] same
[E]
But where everyone messes up is when he gets into the [B] verse the strands in your eyes
Because I'm [N] wonderful stop me and steal my breath and right there at breath
Everybody plays these junk chords, but here and trust me.
I've played with everyone.
This is how it goes
[B]
[F#]
[E] [B]
[E]
[B]
[F#] [E] [B]
[N] Alright, so now I'm gonna slow it down and show you exactly what that chord is
Because it is difficult the first time
[G#] [B] If you'll do it this way I promise you much better results, it's exactly the way the recording is
[F#] What I'm playing [D#] here is [Gm] middle finger six string, sorry
I call it the first string.
It's the low E
[A#]
It's on the sixth fret
And then your [D#] index finger is [B] on the [E] third string on the fourth fret
Your ring finger is on the fourth string the G
Also on the sixth fret
[N] And your pinky is on the B the fifth string
on the [F#] seventh fret
And all you have to do from [G#m] there is walk it down an entire step which is two frets
[G#]
[E] [A#]
[G#] and
[F#] [E]
[F#] [G#] [E]
[B] That's the walk down.

middle finger
third string fourth fret
ring finger
[G#m] fourth string
