OKAY, let’s get something straight; it’s “Soon I’ll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold, or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?” Not “Soon I’ll be 60 years old, when I think the world is cold, when I have a lot of children who can bore me.”
GREAT tab, though!

———3—-0-3-0-3-0-3 x2 or 3 or 4
If Thats Helps Anybody
I think that +2 is the easiest to do btw 🙂
+2 is the easiest key to play on, and if you want to have the intro first play on the A string 3-2-0 and then on the E string 3-0-3-0. hope that helps!
Anything I try it just doesn’t work. I’m playing it like the others say, but I am with SparkleO’ Hope. It doesnt sound right.
As strumming pattern I just use down down down… it sounds ok
But you can use d d-u d-u d-u if you can.
I am new and i couldn’t handle it but I saw that in a video in youtube.
+2
Capo second fret
This song is totally awesome!!!!
