Original key is D-Minor, but it’s played with standard open chords with capo 5.
The song is very easy to play. Only tricky thing is the rhythm. It’s a Johnny Cashish
polka style beat.
There is a lot of muting going on in the verse, but chorus is played open. All is played
with pick.
Listen to the song to get it right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FcmcI6BvQQ)
