Firstly let me say this is a fabulous song and really easy to play. I am not a fantastic guitar player but I'll share the little that I know. I noticed that everyone seems to be stumped at the bridge or that modulated whatever ...those of you who tried playing along know which part I'm talking about anyway. Here is the song with the bridge part. Yes its Bb and not A. Those of you who are trying to substitute it with A will be very very disappointed with the results :) I've played along with the CD a few times so I know its pretty close. But I think the point is to have fun so let the basic chords guide you and feel free to fill in with a few licks of your own :)

Okay I have taken the basic template that the rest of the guys have submitted but corrected and enhanced it as closely as I can. I think they used a 12 string for this song but I can almost get the same effect on my Taylor by playing G5 and C2 anyway here goes..... enjoy PS Feel free to improve this.

"Better Man"

[for intro I prefer to play the bass note as well but like I said since its guitar and piano together in the real thing so its pretty much up to you. Here is my variation:]

'Cause it's not my fault
             C2
