This doesnt sound right when i play it. It should go from the G chord to D, then C and back to G.

Key is G in the audio so capo on 3 i play it: G D (using the open C chord fingering up 3 frets) Thinking the prebridge chorus is just: C D (using the open C chord fingering up 3 frets) Under rated song for sure
