TUNING:  6 5 4 3 2 1
Drop-D   D A D G B E

The key of E-flat lends itself to capo at Fret-1 transposed to D however
Josh is seen playing without a capo in the promotional video. He is out
of position at one point - perhaps transposing on the fly. Nevertheless,
unlike Memories & Dust, the guitar parts can be played without making
use of open strings so this arrangement is prepared in E-flat.

VERSE-CHORDS duplicate acoustic voicings from the recording.
CHORUS-CHORDS mimic the ensemble sound.

Note in parentheses is the added 6th.

Vocal and second guitar form triads specified by the chord-names.

Bb7 is optional.
