Notes:
- Level Of Ease: Easy in Am - much easier chords - ideal for beginners.
- Chord charts are included for both keys... C#m and Am.
- The pause or fermata symbol 𝄑 in this situation means you stop playing for the bar... occurs at the end of the first chorus.
- The barre chords are all very easy, so for anyone transitioning from open chords to barre chords, this is a great song to help you transition easily.
- At first, the song sounds fairly complex, but once you play it a few times, it becomes very easy... great song, interesting artist.
