OK.
Now I knooooooow what youre gonna say. "this doesnt sound like the chords regina plays
And youre right. it doesnt. But it works with the melody just as well.
I just really wanted to put this song up, cos i love it so.
And its my first tab, so be nice!
And im self taught, so i guess its kinda for novices...feel free to embellish all you
proper guitarry people out there :)
Capo can be put anywhere, but I personally think either on 3, or just not all sounds nicest...
For this song, i play G as: 320030
Intro:

There we go chums =] i find it nice, when playing the first part of the verse, play
like this: 320030, and then when you get to "love is so fickle..." play it:: 320033.
just how I do it. :)
And also, i like to instead of all out strumming, pluck the bass E and then strum the
3. So like pluck, strum, pluck strum etc...
