I've used the usual chords for the intro and verses, but I've also made
the chorus and outro sound great too.
Lyrics are accurate off "The Wanderer" album.
Chords used:
E D A B C#m
e|--------------2------------------------4----|
B|--------------3-------2-------4--------5----|
G|------1-------2-------2-------4--------6----|
D|------2---------------2-------4--------6----|
A|------2--------------------------------4----|
E|--------------x------------------------4----|
Note: To play the B chord easily, slide your A chord down to the 4th
fret. Very easy, it makes the A -> B chord change simple. For this
song, that's what I use for the B chord. Play standard open chords except C#m.
