As with all Zac Brown songs, the guitar is tuned down 1/2 step. This song is played with regular old C F and G chords.
-BrianEarlHaines | 9/3/2009 | ok thanks... just a variation -gorillas68 | 11/23/2009 | Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you also keep your guitar in standard tuning and play B, E, and F#? I'm not saying that's how Zac and the boys do it, but that should work too. By the way, good job with these chords. -tpmadden | 3/11/2010 | It's a fine variation and will work well, I just wanted to let people know about the tuning because you wrote in the top that this is how they did it on the album. Also, yes you can play B E and F#. You could put it on the 11th and play C G and F to if you want a Ukulele feel!!! -BrianEarlHaines | 8/9/2010 | i just go t a new epiphone!it plays this song great
