Hi all! This is not how jackson plays it, it is a simplyfied version acoustic guitar
basic chords.
 
The chords are G, D, and C. You can add in solos between verses if you like, anything in
scale of G works well. You can use any basic strumming rythms. It helps to get quieter
slower towards the end of the piece.
 
It's a very free-flowing song, so it helps to experiment to get your own style of playing.

This song is in C, to begin with, and for another the chord changes aren't even right if it were in G. Please try again.
