Starting with the intro
I'm going to be going from G major to D major to A minor to C.
Noticing I'm
calling this out as D major it's going to be these two my D and my G string at
the seventh fret coming out of that chord [G] to A minor.
When I do my C what I'm
calling C is [Cm] again the D and the G [G] string [F#] coming out of [G] that chord.
Intro
two picks on the low E [G] and then I'm strumming the middle strings I'm not
strumming all the way through my G I'm [A] just getting these middle three strings
[G] for the strum.
Holding the whole chord and I'm hammering on coming out of that
on the A string from the seventh fret to the ninth fret [B] first finger to third
finger [Em] I am gonna move my first finger down so this string so that this note
stops ringing [F#] [D]
to pick the D string seventh fret strumming up on the seventh
fret G and [E] D.
[D]
[E] [G]
[D] Real slow for you [G] or [E]
[D] [Am] slower for you.
Same thing happens on the A minor
pick pick
[D] [E] hammer [G] strum
[C] up.
The entire [G] intro becomes the verse
[D] [Am] [E] [G]
[E] [A] [Am]
[C] [A] the difference
being when you start singing the pick pick becomes just simply pick and the G
down up with the A minor staying the extra two strums so pick
[E] pick [D] [A] pick [Am] pick
[G] hammer [C] pick strum.
[G]
I'm hearing some variations but if you get those two or three basic
strum patterns happening around the chords [Am]
you're good for the entire verse
the same chords get used in the chorus as the verse that's the [Em] same chords in
the same order G, [G] [D]
D, [Am] A [C] minor, C.
Same four chords.
[G]
[Am] If I hold just my first finger on the A minor I can hammer my other two fingers in if you're ready for that
cool if not just go straight to the A minor [G]
[D] similarly hammering those same two
fingers or at least I'm sorry into the D chord first finger second finger second
fret [A] G and high E [Am]
so [C]
that's the [G] chorus the [D]
[Am] [C] [G]
[D] [G] [D]
[D]
[G] [D]
[A] [Am] [C]
[G] [D]
[Am] [C] [Bm]
bridge is going to take you [Am] from A
minor to [Em] E minor [C]
[G] and G it [Am]
repeats [Em] the last time we're going to stay [C] on C and
alternate between C and C major 7.
I'm making my first finger up.
[Em] It sounds like this if I go at
speed.
[Am]
[Em]
[C]
First [G] time to G, second [Am] time [Em] I'm going to stay on the C, up E minor.
[C]
Notice the upbeat change to the C major 7 hammering back to the C major with my first finger.
