Pretty straight forward song but the Gmaj7 and Asus2 chords may have eluded beginners
when trying to work out this great track.
These 2 chords give it that airy, atmospheric vibe (that and half a ton of reverb!)
In the second half of the Chorus try to emphasise that top note (F#) of the Gmaj7 chord. Enjoy!
