[F#m] [D] This is Chema and I'm going to attempt to show you a play of chords and strumming of
Louis Bruno Mars' It Will Rain.
If you're trying to sing this song, I suggest you are a girl.
[F#m] If you're a dude, your voice range should be [D] really high.
You could sing to it in octave lower.
If you ever [F#m] leave my baby.
You know, something like that.
Other than [G] that, good luck.
Count my fingers from zero to [N] four.
Zero, one, two, three, and four.
Fred's got a little bit of a problem.
One, two, three, four, five, et cetera.
The first chord is D major and if you don't know that, that's finger number two goes on
fret number two, string number one.
Finger number one skips one string on the same fret.
Finger number three goes on the third fret on the second string.
[A#] Like that.
[B] So right there, your bass is going to be on the fourth string.
Keep these fingers in here.
Play it [D] once like this.
With your thumb at the same time.
Then with your thumb on the right, you're going to have to pluck string number three.
[B] You're going to do that for four beats on [D] the first chord.
One, two, three, four.
[B] Second chord is F sharp minor and [Em] you're going to bar finger number one on fret number two.
Like that on all strings.
Finger number four is going to [F#] go on the fourth string on the fourth fret.
Finger number three is going to go right above it.
Just [Em] kind of play it like that.
[F#m] [G#] With this hand, [B] your thumb is going to be on string number [D#] six for the bass.
Start with the first string on these fingers.
[F#m] So the whole chord.
Try to get all the chords.
The strumming is the same.
Four beats.
One, two, three, four.
[G#] You're going to repeat for the second verse.
[D] There's nothing now, [F#m] my darling.
[B] Next chord is E minor [N] and that's just finger number three on the second fret on the fourth string.
And finger number two goes right above it.
You're going to pluck again the sixth string [Em] from the bottom for four beats.
[E] Next chord is B minor.
You're going to bar finger number one on second fret.
Only these five bottom strings.
Finger number two goes on the [F#] third fret on the [E] second string.
Finger number four goes on the third string on the fourth fret.
And finger number three goes right above it.
[Bm]
Your bass note is string number five.
You're going to do the [Bm] same thing for four beats.
[G#] So that would be.

Which is finger number three on string number two.
[N] Fret number two.
Finger number two right above [A] it.
And finger number one right above it.
Your bass is string number five.
[B] After that you go right back to the first chord.
[Em] So the strumming is just [D] going to change right there.
And then you go back.
[E] This is the more intense part of the song.
Same [D] chords.
There's no religion [F#m] that can save me.
[D] The very powerful one is [F#m] on the floor.
[Em] Just keep my head on side by [Bm] side.
I'll make it.
[Em] Just keep you by my side.
[E] Keep you from walking out the door.
[Em] The chorus starts with a G major.
Which is finger number three on fret number [D#] three.
String number one.
And finger number two goes right on the same fret.
But on the [G] sixth string.
Finger number one goes [F#] on the second fret on the fifth [G] string.
You're going to do two strums per chord.
So count your beats on the chorus.
One, two.
[F#m]
[A] Start [G] over.
There will be [A] no clear [F#m] skies.
If [Bm] I'm with you [A] baby.
Just like the clouds my eyes [E] will tell.
That chord is different.
[F#] Instead of the minor right there.
[C#m] You're going to do this.
[N] Like the minor.
Just take off that pinky.
And add your second finger on fret number three.
On string number three.
Right [G] there again.
Just like [A] the clouds [F#] my eyes will [Bm] tell.
That's [A] the best thing.
If you walk away.

Rain.
If you want to do that on the last one.
[E] So a little transition after that.
[D] You can just hum it.
[F#m] Those first two chords.
[D] Or you can also do it like [C#] this.
Bar these three bottom strings on fret number seven.
Then with your pinky skip [D] three frets forward.
On the first string.
You're going to play.
[F#m] Then the second [D] time.
Back to that one.
[F#] So there it repeats.
[G#] Second time through.
[F#m]
It's a pause [D] there.
[F#m]
[Em] [Bm]
[Em] There goes my little girl.
Up [A] with that troublesome guy.
[D] They're just afraid of something [F#m] they can't understand.
[D] Little daughter watch me [F#m] change the mask.
I [Em] feel like child, child, child, child.
[Bm]
Pick up the [Em] broken pieces and start [A] bleeding.
That'll make it right.
