I truly great song. I have some theories on the meaning but who knows?
As someone who can barely strum, does anyone have any tips on the B chord? I always have trouble with that one.
Thank you picpic and JoshIAm for posting. |

BF often plays B chord 22444x (you can forget the last string)
I think a real power whord should be X244XX or X2444X but I noticed BF almost never mutes the first string when he plays power chords.

One chord in that doesn't sound right: the D/F# at the end of the verses. Also, don't think Frank would be that lazy to cadence out on a G, then a D, then a G and then just another form of D, there'd be zero tension there.
I'd bet the farm that after the bar of G on "helped me to see", he turns that into a G7 for two beats and then the bass drops to F# on that same chord for two more beats, making G7/F#. So both the F in G7 and the F# bass drop down to E for the chorus; classical it ain't, but who cares when it's that tasty.
Guitar voicing that sounds best to this ear is: G7: 353463 G7/F#: 25x46x
