-2 transposed is so much easier!
I like to add a little twist to most songs I play, and with this song I personally prefer to transpose it +1, it’s easier and sounds slightly unique from the original.
However, my mum (a diehard Smiths fan) prefers the original, but to each their own
i rearranged the chords a little bit and stuck to the basic a, d, gbm, and e too bad none of my friends know this song
i just skip the e. i don’t mind with or without but it’s slightly easier to play
