It's really simple that way, and he plays in D open too. Just watch the DVD and you will recognize the positions. I use this pattern with the song. Please copy-paste this to your notepad (courier font!) or somewhere, because it's a real pain in the ass trying to align the notes in this font. Sorry for that. First, tune your guitar to D open. Then put capo on third fret. The song is written in the key of F. For the I chord (F, D without capo) I play (repeating) this pattern: |-----0-----------0-------| |-------0---0-------0---0-| |---------3-----------3---| |---4-----------5---------| |-5-----------5-----------| |-------------------------| For the V chord (C, A without capo) try this: |-----2-----------2-------| |-------0---0-------0---0-| |---1-----1-----1-----1---| |-------------------------| |-0-----------0-----------| |-------------------------| And finally for the IV chord (Ab, G without capo): |-----0-----------0-------| |-------0---0-------0---0-| |---1-----1-----1-----1---| |-------------------------| |-2-----------2-----------| |-------------------------| Listen to the recording and you will figure out the tempo. First two notes are slow, the following four are faster, then two slow again, four fast, etc. This positions are really simple and they sound nice too. Try it out! Have fun and be well!

She unbuckled [C]my belt, pulled back her hair, And sat in front of me on the [F]bed. She said, "Honey how's [F]that feel, Do you want me to go [F]slow?" My eyes drifted out the [C]window, Down to the road [F]below. I felt my stomach [Ab]tighten. The sun bloodied the [F]sky And sliced through the [C]hotel blinds. I closed my [F]eyes. etc... by Lipa
