(All Fs should be barred) 

There's a chord in the Chorus that I don't know the name of, but I know it's right. I'm  
calling it F/C, and it's fingered like this: 
e|-----x--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----2--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----3--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| 

The low E string 1 is optional, and played by the thumb. It's basically a C chord with a  
bar over the G and B strings. 

Also, in the Chorus, there is a C (walkdown). If you listen to the song the guitar  
mimics the melody in the 'sky high honey' part, which you can do by playing a C chord and  
then going: 

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-----1---0----------0-------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------2------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Alternatively, if you want it to sound bigger, you can go: 

C   G    Am7 G  C 
Sky high honey, gone. 


OK, on to the music.
