So this is the version from Lisa's Tiny Desk Concert (link to the video below) and I
figured out a way to play it lower if you're a dude like me and can't sing as high as she can!
Capo 2 (Positions relative to capo)
Intro (see fingering below) A, Asus repeat
Verse:e------------------------------------|B--------------2---------------------|G--------2------------2--------2-----|D-----------2--------------2---------|A----0------------0------------------|E------------------------------------| Amaj
e-----------------------------|B-----------------------------|G------2-----2-----2-----2----|D---------------4-------------|A---------4-----------4-------|E----2------------------------| F#m
e----------------------|B----------------------|G----2----2----2---2---|D-----------0----------|A------2---------2-----|E--1-------------------| Not sure what chord this is. Maybe an inverted Amaj with an added something? I call it Asus.
The picking pattern is pretty easy for both chords.
I use my thumb and pointer finger and (high e being 1) pluck the strings:
For Amaj: 5-3-4-2-5-3-4-3
For F#m: 6-3-5-3-4-3-5-3
For the Asus: 6-3-5-3-4-3-5-3
Note that the pointer finger is staying constant on the higher note for each chord.
Chorus:
The chords for the chorus are Amaj, Emaj, Dmaj (hold the Dmaj for 2 bars).
The fingering for the chorus is the same as the verse with that alternating and
"stepping up and down" thumb-pointer-thumb-pointer pattern.
SUGGESTION:
I didn't particularly like Lisa's transition from the end of the chorus back in to the
verse (it's hard to follow on guitar as well) so I decided to walk it down like this:
A, E, D (2 bars), Dm (2 bars) then back into the A, Asus introduction.
