I Do I Think by Joshua Lee Turner
I Do I Think
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Strumming patterns are rough guides only, as there are small variations
throughout.
(n) = Ghost notes.
x = Muted
For the part of the chorus 'Because I hate beginnings...' Josh plays the first
Em7 as a barre up on
the 7th fret and the following A as a barre on the 5th fret. The second set ('so
is it worse to marry...')
is just played as normal open chords. You can play them all as open chords, just
a tip for authenticity.
[Intro]
It's essentially a barre G then a D shape moved up 5 frets to become a G, then
down two frets to an F.
This part is basically the same on all the parts like 'I don't believe the
story...' etc.
