This is totally by ear and I encourage and welcome any corrections!
Intro: Start out with one strum of this D something (maybe a D2?) chord. Then pick each
string, starting with the G string, and work your way upward. Listen to the song to get
the rhythm correct.
The D2? Chord
Verses:
Then strum back and forth between Am and the D2 chord. Do this 3x
Am D2(??)
| e | 55555555 55555555 |
| B | 55555555 55555555 |
| G | 55555555 77777777 |
| D | 77777777 77777777 |
| A | 77777777 55555555 |
| E | 55555555 55555555 |
Then go to a G, and pick each string from G to the low E as you did in the intro.
G
| e | 3333333 |
| B | 3333333 |
| G | 4444444 |
| D | 5555555 |
| A | 5555555 |
| E | 3333333 | Repeat this whole pattern (Am to D2 to G) 2x |
Chorus: Play a higher C chord on the 8th fret, as well as the F chord. Listen to
the song to hear the chord changes between the C and F.
C F
| e | 88888888 88888888 |
| B | 88888888 1010101010 |
| G | 99999999 1010101010 |
| D | 1010101010 1010101010 |
| A | 1010101010 88888888 |
| E | 88888888 88888888 |
Then go to a G, but stop playing for the: "ooh-ooh" part.
| e | 333333333 |
| B | 333333333 |
| G | 444444444 |
| D | 555555555 |
| A | 555555555 |
| E | 333333333 |
Bridge:
I am guessing it's C to Am, but I may be wrong. Once again, try playing a higher
fretted C and go to the Am on the 5th fret. Play total down-strokes throughout
This bridge. Play in eighths.
C Am
| e | 88888888 55555555 |
| B | 88888888 55555555 |
| G | 99999999 55555555 |
| D | 1010101010101010 77777777 |
| A | 1010101010101010 77777777 |
| E | 88888888 55555555 |
Then at the end of the bridge, go to a G, and give it a powerful
and quick down-stroke 3 times. Like an eighth note going "1 and 2!"
G
| e | 333 |
| B | 333 |
| G | 444 |
| D | 555 |
| A | 555 |
| E | 333 |
Then go to final verse, then mellow it a little on final chorus, then play Am to the
D2 (??) chord for a few bars, go to the G, pick it like the two other times, then end on Am.
Hope this works. It sounds and looks pretty accurate. And like I said, any corrections
are welcomed and encouraged! Thanks!
