I was the one now I'm gone
F D7 Gsus4 G
Take me back again

--CHORD DIAGRAMS AND SUGGESTIONS--
The original song uses a capo on the 3d fret which makes it a
hell of a lot easier to play but capos are for pussies and also
I don't have a capo so I figured the open position chords
(I'm gonna leave out the common chords such as C, Dm, G7, E7, D7, Am, F, and G...
if you need to you can google those, they are pretty simple).
1.- When reaching the "C Caug C6 Caug" progression, you can use these chords which
you may find easier:
e|----x---- --x---- ----x--------x------------------|
B|----5---- --5---- ----5--------5------------------|
G|----5---- --5---- ----5--------5------------------|
D|----5---- --6---- ----7--------6------------------|
A|----7---- --7---- ----7--------7------------------|
E|----8---- --8---- ---(8)------(8)-----------------|(Notes in parenthesis mean optional)
C Caug C6 Caug
OR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO/CAN'T, YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS:
e|-----0-------(0)-------0-------(0)------------------|
B|-----1--------1--------1--------1-------------------|
G|-----0--------1--------2--------1-------------------|
D|-----2--------2--------2--------2-------------------|
A|-----3--------3--------3--------3-------------------|
E|----(3)-------x--------x--------x-------------------|
C Caug C6 Caug
SUGGESTION:If you still wish to simplify this progression,
you can replace every C6 in the song with an Am,
sounds about the correct chord and'll make it easier.
2.- As for the "Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 G7" progression, here's how it goes:
e|---1---------1--------1--------1-----------------------------------------------|
B|---3---------2--------1--------0-----------------------------------------------|
G|---2---------2--------2--------0-----------------------------------------------|
D|---0---------0--------0--------0-----------------------------------------------|
A|---0---------0--------0--------2-----------------------------------------------|
E|---x---------x--------x--------3-----------------------------------------------|
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 G7
3.- In case you were wondering how to play a Gsus4:
e|---3-------- or --3-------------------------------------------------------|
B|---1---------some --1-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---0---------people --0-------------------------------------------------------|
D|---0---------play --0-------------------------------------------------------|
A|---2---------it like --x-------------------------------------------------------|
E|---3---------this---> --x-------------------------------------------------------|
Gsus4 Gsus4
4.- SUGGESTION: I use some variations on the chords (The ones marked *) when
reaching the 2nd chorus
which make it sound closer to the recording and way prettier, you may choose to
ignore this of course)
These chord variations are Am* C* F* G7*
