Standard (EADGBE)
Chords:
This is how the three chords are played - very typical Jason Mraz chords.
The brackets () around the notes in the Em7 indicate that these two notes aren't
played all the time. The high B on the 7th fret is rarely heard, and isn't very
important. The open E-string isn't played until later in the song, simply to add
some excitement and power later in the song.
E:--(0)-- ---8--- -------:
Strumming pattern:
Every bar follows the same strumming pattern. This bar is just an example of the
first bar of Em7. The (x) means to strum and mute the strings with your right
palm. This is done to create the "snare drum-feeling" on the beats 2 and 4.
x then means to usually strum the strings while they're muted with your left
hand fingers. This is also a very typical Mraz-pattern, also used for Butterfly,
when he plays that acoustic.
