Beginner Guitarists
- The chords in this song are all easy to play. See charts for help with Gsus4.
- If you usually play the G chord using your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers, switching to Gsus4 can feel a bit clunky. A better approach is to play G with your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers—this way, you can simply add your 1st finger to move smoothly to Gsus4.
- The first 4 bars of Intro are repeated through most of the song.
- The timing seems a little tricky at first but if you count during the four bars as you play them, it gets a lot easier. Consider the following:
1+2+3+4+ 1+2+3+4+ 1+2 +3+ 4+ 1+2 +3+ 4+ 4/4| Em | C | G Gsus4 G | G Gsus4 G |
