And we can learn to love a-|gain - | - | - | | | Notes:
- Level Of Ease: Easy - beginners may find the Bm a little hard to play at first but stick with it. If you can't play barre chords yet, you can play the chord as xx4432 where you only play the top 4 strings. This will get you out of trouble until you learn how to play barre chords.
- D/F# means you play a D chord leading with an F# bass-note. If you find this chord a little awkward, simply play a normal D chord... it still sounds fine.
- The D/F# shape can be played as the chart suggests - using your thumb to play the note represented by the letter 'T'. This works well if your hands are big enough to stretch the thumb and play the notes. If this is too hard you can use your first finger to play the 6th string, while your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers play the D chord instead of fingers 1, 2 and 3.
- The Chorus after the Bridge is played with drums only - I have included the chords anyway.
- The hyphen between 2 chords means they share equal timing, e.g., | D - G | means 2 beats on D and 2 beats on G. Similarly | Dsus4 - D | means you play Dsus4 for 2 beats and D for 2 beats.
- Please Note: Because of the Transposition feature we have had to put the bars below the chords. The bars with a hyphen represent the even split timing of the chords above.
