Iwan Rheon - Simple Song Chords & Tabs

NO CAPO.  *strum once

The strumming pattern is really clear in the song, so you'll understand why you're 
supposed to only strum once with some chords. 

!! The chords three chords in between each verse and chorus (G Bm Em) have to be 
strum ONCE. Technically the third chord (Em) carries on till you switch to the C, 
but strike all 6 strings hard ONCE then carry on with the note. You can hear it if 
you listen to the song.
