Halfway Home by Jason Mraz is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of D with a capo on the 2st fret. It uses the chords D, G, B7, Em and C. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
A capo placed on the 2nd fret
Strumming pattern: I use D-D-U-U-D
If you listen to the song he quite often builds up from a Em to a G chord.
So if you want to add that part, well he does is the following on your lowest E-string.
E:|0-2-3 and then play the G-chord.
Feel free to correct me, send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and
I'll try to fix the wrong part(s). I know the chordsplacements aren't 100%
accurate, but I've done it by ear from the way I remember the song, so bare with me. ;)
