The tuning is Drop D and there is a capo on the 2nd fret. These are chords for the entire song. I’m referencing the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Vk6HOoU44. Listen for yourself for the strumming pattern. Please comment with any corrections!

Cette chanson évoque la complexité de la vie, entre la légèreté et les luttes intérieures. Elle parle de l'absurdité de l'existence, où l'on se sent souvent seul à porter nos fardeaux, tandis que les autres semblent avancer sans souci. Les références à des figures mythologiques et la lutte avec des forces invisibles montrent une quête de sens, une réflexion sur les épreuves et les échecs qui rythment notre chemin. Au fond, le message se penche sur la recherche d'espoir et de lumière au milieu des ombres qui nous entourent.
