Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Probably better than the other version with one chord.
Strumming Pattern: ^^ (strum up twice per chord)
F#ms in brackets are optional. In case you don't play them strum the Bm six times and then F#m twice. If you are one of those who believe that sounds better if played in Cm then the chords are Bm-->Cm and F#m-->Gm.
