version 3
But for those that just want to strum the song out easily, it can easily be shortened
down to just playing G, C, Am, D. It's an easy way for beginners to play it. And if you
wanna get it sounding more true to the original, in between verses you can strum out a
G, C, Em*, Am, D, C> pattern.
G: (( 3 2 x x 3 3 ))
C: (( x 3 2 x 1 x ))
Em?*: (( x 2 x x x x )) <--Not exactly an Em but it's as close as it gets
Em: (( x 2 2 x x x )) <--There are few actual Em's here as well.
Am: (( x x 2 2 1 x ))
D: (( x x x 2 3 2 ))
Standard tuning.
G, C, Em?*, Am, D, C <---Strum pattern is
easy to figure out
