VERSE -i'm not gonna type the words, just the chord progression. Its only
three chords
Chord Structure
Name eadcgbe
F5 x810 10 xx
E5 x799xx
G 355433
Just repeat those chords through the verse. Make sure you strum all the way
through the barred G chord-it makes it sound better.
CHORUS- listen to the song to get the rhythm down. Change between Bm, A, and
G is pretty quick at first, but practice makes perfect!
Name eadcgbe
C5 x355xx
Bm x24432
A x02220
G 355433
After the chorus, play the intro again, then the verse then the chorus again
until the bridge.
BRIDGE
Name eadcgbe
Bm x24432
C x32010
