But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Gadd6 chord but for playability, use C6 chord.
Since I play solo, I use a progression in chords during the song, from more open chords /
low fretting, to higher. In the song this does not happen that way: the higher notes are more accentuated
further into the song.
