_ _ _ [G] Hey guys, Guitar Pilgrim [Em] here and today it's Forner with I [C] Want To Know What Love Is.
Now we're [Em] gonna start off with E minor, _
_ _ _ [G] goes on to D over [Em] F sharp, thumb, [G] first finger,
third finger, [D] _ _
_ [Gm] then [Em] I hold my third finger, second and little finger, G power chord.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ Not a typical way to play a power chord but it's a power [Em] chord nonetheless.
Next up, C, just remove your second [G] finger.
_ _ _ _ [Em] Let's take a look at the strumming.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now on the last three strums you want to play the D over F sharp. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Then it's on to the G power chord, same strumming pattern, but on the C it's only half the
strumming [G] pattern because it's just two beats. _
_ _ _ _ _ And then it's back to [F] E minor.
So from the top [Em] and _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] then a nice [Em] little riff. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ Let's play the whole verse. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] Let's move on to the pre-chorus.
A minor 7, start with a [D] regular A minor, [Am] second, third, first finger and then simply add the
little finger at the third fret of the first string.
_ _ Then it's on to D [D] again, _ [C] C chord, third, second and first finger, _ _ a G [Eb] which you can
play whichever way you want.
I use just three [G] fingers and [Em] it's A minor again.
[Am] _ [E] And here a beauty, [C] _ _ such a sweet chord, C6 over D.
_ [Am] You can use other fingers as well for extra strength.
_ On to the strumming pattern.
Now _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] what's really important here is you want to have two accents on the down strum and
this down strum.
Quite a bit [Am] louder. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
G chord, [G] _ you _ [Em] can also play [D] it with four fingers, doesn't really matter, whichever you [G] prefer. _
Then we [Em] have E [D] minor, second, third finger, [Em] _ _ _
[Am] on to the D [D] _ and lastly A [Am] minor.
_ [D] _ And those are all the chords of the [E] chorus.
Strumming!
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] On the last three strums you want to play the [G] E minor. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F] And it's on [D] to D, different strumming pattern now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
