Standard tuning. The original is in Drop C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#. I have written this so
it can be played in standard alongside the original.
Capo 1: If you choose not to use a Capo you can play bar chords as G#, F#, C# G#
instead. I use a Capo in the 1st fret and play mostly open chords except for the F. Also when
playing the "livin it up" sections I play F# and G# bar chords while the capo is on, but
the capo has no effect on bar chords played above the first fret.
Extended CD intro hold G
Radio Intro G, F. It's the same pattern as the "Livin it up, Livin it up, being a
lowlife" part. Just tack that up here as well.
