"Watermelon Sugar" - acoustic session

In acoustic sessions, Harry uses a capo at the 3rd fret and the chords Am, Em, G and D major. This drops the key by a whole tone to make it more mellow, but could also just be out of Harry personal preference. Check it out here and try to play along using those chords above if you can!
