I Know Its Over - Jeff Buckley
Capo: Fret 3
Tuning: , E A D G B E
Use bar chords for F + G but lift your finger to leave the high E + B strings open.
During Am chords, he uses hammer-ons and pull-offs on the B and G string and also e string 3rd fret:
Making Am7 and Asus2 chords. He also sometimes jumps to Em for one strum so listen out.
During C chords, he does the same on e string 3rd fret
Listen through and play around with those or just make it up for some added flavour
[Verse]
Oh Mother, I c

"And if you're

While they are in each other's arms
[Chorus]
It's so easy t

It takes guts
to be gentle a

Over, over
