Cody Carnes · Key of Bb · Capo 3 · 150 BPM · 6/8
Minimum skill needed to play
You'll need to know your chords and be able to adjust your strumming volume to match the dynamics of each section.
Chords and chord transitions
You can play the chords of the original key using G chord shapes with capo on the third fret.
Use the Chord Shape Finder below to pick what chord shapes you want to play. Here's how it works:
- First choose the key of the song.
- Then choose the capo fret until "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and the chords listed in "Chord Shapes" are ones you know or want to learn. This allows you to play the song using chords and chord shapes you know while the song is in a key you don't know.
- View chords and chord transition pairs for suggested voicings.

What to watch out for
The verses build and seem more full than the choruses. The Chorus really feels more like a vamp or selah.
