ok so ive seen a lot of others tabs of this song, but i was taught this way and i think
sounds better. :) Its preatty simple, the strumming patters are a little tricky so ill
my best to notate it:
8 beats per "line"
Chord Am F C G
beat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
otherwise just listen to the song, its easy enough to pick up.
capo 3rd Frett
all chords relative to capo.
word.
FOr people who dont think theres a difference between the real F- the bar chord (133211)
the cheats F- Fmaj7 (xx3210) you're all wrong. theres a big difference.
and yes. theres also a difference between c (32010) and Cadd9 (32033).
as for the rest:
Am- (x02210)
dm- (xx0231)
G- (320033)
listen to song for pattern :)
into: Am F C G x3, dm, Fmaj (same
as verses)
