it’s always been 3×2003 and that’s still the right way to play it
Did you change the first chord (Em/G 3×2003) to leave the B string open rather than play the first fret (Em/G 3×2013)? I thought your version used to have that. Either way, great tab and great site. Thanks…
Thanks for this, it is so beautiful.
He’s repeating “can’t make a sound” and meanwhile
each chord change is more beautiful than the next.
Unbelievable.
