Intro/Verses:
F#m, D
Chorus:
A, Bm, C#m, D
Things to try/note
Sometimes (particularly the intro) it is handier to play the F#m
like this -
e-0
B-0
G-2
D-4
A-4
E-x
And alternate the e string during the D occasionally like this -
e-2 - 0 - 4 - 2
B-3
G-2 Same base chord
D-0
A-x
E-x
And occasionally during the verses (maybe "my ship was sold right
up..." bit) try this in the F#m, D transition (play these notes on
the low E string) -
F#m -> G#, A, E -> D
