_ _ _ I'm going to use the complex names but the arrangement isn't difficult.
There aren't any chord progressions.
_ So let's go.
In the introduction on the first part we're going to use these chords here. _

_ _ _ _ _ G with the bass note B.

[G] The thumb and the back of the thumb to play upwards. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let's start by building G major.
Then we play one downstroke and then two upstrokes.
One _ downstroke and one upstroke. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ That's it.
And throughout the entire song we're going to play this rhythm.
In practically all the chords it will be played only once like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Joining the chords of the [G] introduction. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ To play the pre-chorus we're going to use three new chords.
_ E minor.
[Em] _ _ _
_ _ [B] E minor with a D bass note with open strings.
So we play from [Eb] the D [G] string down and the [F] F major 7th chord. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] I've already taught the other chords and here we'll play the rhythm once on each chord.
Except for the D major chord which is the last chord of the section.
Where we'll play the rhythm twice.

_ D with a sharp bass [D] note. _
_ _ _ [Gm] B.
[B] B with a 7th.
A with a [A] 7th.
E. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ The rhythm also doesn't change and will continue to be played once on each chord.
Then on the last D major chord we'll play the rhythm.
Once and then there's a downstroke making a pause before repeating the song.
