In today's lesson we're going to learn

there's a more famous version of it on the album entitled Live from 1975.
Before you get started take a moment to download our chord chart there's a link

Alright here we go.
Here are the [C] chords we'll be using
in this song C, [G] G, A minor, [Am] [F] F, [G] and G over B.
Now let's try those chords using
down strokes.
We're going to play two [C] down strokes per chord.
One, two, three, four.
[G] [Am]
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
[F] [C] [G] [Am]

[F]
[C#] The strumming pattern goes down, down, down, up, down, down, up, down, up, up, [C] down.
[G]
[Am] [F] [C] Let's break it down and learn it in four parts.
First we have down, down,
[G] then we
have down, up, down on G over B.
After that we have down, up, down on A minor [Am] and [F] then
finally we have up, up, down on the F chord.
[G] When we put that all together we get
[C]
down, down, [G] down, up, down, down, [F] up, down, up, up, [C] down.
C, [G] G over B, A [F] minor.
[C] Now let's try that
strumming pattern over the chords for the verse.
One, two, three, four.

[F] [C] [G]
[F] [C] [G]
[F] [G]
[F] [C] [G]

[F] [C] The [G] [Am]
[F]
chorus goes [C] like this.
[G] [F]
