Notes:
I originally found this as a hand-drawn chart here: http://derrierechaquenote.tumblr.com/
Most credit goes to the original poster, I've simply put it in an easier to read format
and changed some chord phrasings.
The chorus is a little iffy. There's definitely a Gmaj7 chord through most of it, with
the bass line moving underneath.
Use this phrasing: 3x443x to free up a lot of movement in your index finger, making the
bassline easier to play.
It ends with G/A, but there's a similar chord before it that I can't suss out.
