So this is my first Chord tab. this is how i play it, it seems to work and a pretty good
crowd pleaser. i did do this by ear, so feel free to correct me if you actually know
the proper chords.
The strumming pattern i use changes throughout the song. for the into i use half a bar
of music (2 out of the 4 beats) per chord (G-dd D-uu, Em7-uu D-uuudu- with a half down
strum to sometimes change chords) and then during the verse i change to 1 chord per bar
of music (ddu udu udu). The chorus is again a little different but you will see that in the
write up. (i hope that made sense to people, if not make it up on your own)
