Song: Gone forever
Tabbed by: David John
4th June 2013
Tuning: Standard
NB: You could just use barre chord shapes throughout the whole song.
I like to mix them with some first inversion chords too, just to add variety,
with some open strings ringing, particularly the top E.
I think the barre Csus2 is actually the correct chord throughout, but if choosing
to use first inversion shapes too, I just think a Cadd9 sounds better when
playing in that particular position.
Near the end of the choruses I make the Dsus2 a D major,
as I think that adding the F# note back in helps that ascending progression
on the top string.

[Em] Even though the cupboards[Dsus2] are bare,
[Cadd9] Even though there's nothing[Dsus2] out there,
[Em] You can't just sit around and [Dsus2]worry, when you've still[Cadd9] got a chance!"[Dsus2]
