Question:
I know Creed isn't the most godly band around anymore, but I need super easy chords for With Arms Wide Open... its one of my faves, but I can't do hard chords. I have a capo if that helps... Please help and I'd be most grateful!!!! Rach
Answer:
Wow, I've never tried to play this before but now that I've looked at it, it's one of those songs that no matter what key you're in there's a barre chord in there. The easiest I could boil it down to is key of G, Capo 5.
Verse:
G..D/F#..Em..C...(keep repeating)
Chorus:
C..G
B (told ya so)..A
Bridge:
G..D/F#..F..Em
At least with this version the capo is on pretty high and the action of your strings should be very low, making the B and F barre quite easy (or at least passable!).
For the exact structure of the chords along with the words, you can see:
Arms wide open tab
This is in the original key; I'm too lazy to redo it all, so just note the equivalencies:
G = C
D/F# = C/B
Em = Am
C = F
B = E
A = D
F = Bb
