Thanks, Colin! It's such a pretty riff and you did a great job of breaking it down and making it accessible. Much appreciated.

Well done Colin, short, sharp, to the point and best of all very easy to understand.

I love this version of the riff and am practicing to get it right. Can you share what chords to play for the verses and chorus? I'd love to be able to play the whole song, but am terrible about figuring out the chords on my own.

Hi! i can't get the tabs in the last part. Is it 321 or 123 or 432 lol.
Please help.

Strum the Bb chord and then, on 3rd string (C), take your 2nd finger off the 2nd fret, play the open C string and then hammer back onto 2nd fret and strum the Bb chord again. So Strum Bb (0 on C string) (2 on C string) then strum Bb again :)

People wanting to get help with songs like this ARE NOT BEGINNERS. They just need to be shown a bit of fingering. They know what a F, G, C, D, A.... cord is already.
