Song: I Can Make You Love Me
Artist: British India
Album: Controller
In my opinion, this song is best played half step down (D# G# C# F# A# D#) so that you can play the D#m as an
open E [022100] instead of awkwardly moving your hand up the fretboard to play [668876].
This tab, however, is in standard.
If you want to play half step down, just use the transpose button on the left to change the rest of the chords.
<---------
With enough demand (which is unlikely) I'll also post a 'native' half-step-down version of the chords, manually
transposed. But you should be able to figure it out no problem.
Enjoy.
