Hows It Going To Be - Third Eye Blind: Alternate Chords.
File by William Betts. 
I have seen basically two variations of this song. One is in the key of Bb with 
The Key of F version requires a Bb chord*, which is one of those chords no one l

1. You can use three-string movable major triads. This is probably 
the best way in most cases. (This example is in the key of F).

2. These are another form of Movable majors, a bit higher pitched.

3. An alternative is to use three-string power chords. It doesent 
sound as good, but if you're more used to playing these then 
movable majors maybe it is the right option for you.

4. when all else fails, you can always transpose. Here is how you 
play the song in the more familiar key of G. The only
problem with doing this is that if you are playing in a cover band, 
the solos will have to be transposed to fit the chords.
but if you are just playing the chords by yourself, this 
is pretty easy and sounds pretty good.

Incedentally, if you have a capo, you can put it on the third fret and play this
                           
5. If you havent seen how to do it with bar chords, heres how.

If the bar chord is difficult for you, you can leave off either the top or the b
