Start Jamming...
Okay, here's a lesson for Paul Stuckey's wedding song.
And the chords are pretty simple.
We're going to start [D] off with a D and then you're putting [G] your pinky finger on the [D] third fret.
[D]
And then you're going up two [E] frets and [B]
doing the same thing.
[G] Then you're going to a G and you're accenting that [F#] with the pinky finger on the fifth fret
[G] of the first string.
Then back to the D [D] again.
You're going to open the first string and hammer it on.
Then go to the third fret.
So here we go.
This is the way it goes.
So we're doing a four, two, three, one.
Four, two, three, one.
[E] [G]
[D]

[G]
[D]
Now for the chorus, you're going to go straight from that D.
[G] When you've got the extra finger,
the pinky finger on the third fret, you're going to switch right up to a G.
Then those bottom two fingers on the sixth and fifth strings that are, you got the sixth
string on the third fret, the fifth string on the second fret for G, you're going to
go sixth string on the second fret, fifth string on the second fret.
[F#m] [G] Into [D] an E minor, E minor [Em] seven.
Into an [A] A to the [D] D.
[G] Back, [Em]
[A] [D]
then D, [A] A, [G] G, [A] [D] no D I'm sorry.
So you got D,
[A] [G] G, [D] D, B minor, [Bm]
A, [A] [Bm] B minor D I'm sorry, [D]
[A] then A.
With that A you're [F#] going
to an A seven, which I'm just bringing up my ring finger to hit the second string on
the third [A] fret.
Into [G] the G, fifth fret, fifth fret.
[D]
[E]

Then the [A] bridge, well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
[G] That's a G, [Em]
[A] [D]

that's about it.
So here it is all the way [D] through.
