Um, there's a really tough way to play this song and then there's a really easy way to play this song and then there's like
probably a million ways to play this song at a
Moderately difficult level I'm gonna teach the easy way
You're gonna need to know two chords for the whole song.
Yeah, it's that easy.
See it's even easier
Do you know your C three open open open [F] and F?
Open one open
[C]
[F] See F
so this is a four count song and
You basically just hold each
chord
for two
bars two counts of four
so one two, three, four two two, three [C] four
one two, three four two two three four
[F]
And
We're gonna get into the strum
[F#] Okay, I was kind of doing a shuffle.
They're kind of like you're down down up down up down up, whatever whatever

C F C and then it goes
verse
Chorus interlude which is the same progression?
Verse chorus interlude which is the [N] same progression?
verse chorus
And then you're finishing up and it's the same progression the whole time if you have a second person doing the solos
That's great but
Whatever the trickiest part is doing the progress or the strumming and as I just showed I didn't follow the strumming
The way I described it and it still [G#] sounded okay
All right, so hopefully that was helpful and
