Chords with lyrics
Some notes:
- The song follows the pattern A minorAm FF C majorC G+G throughout and changes speed, speeding up then slowing.
- The first half is picking and second strumming.
- The guitarist plays FF 103210 using his thumb for the low note.
Bass notes walk up and down between some transitions:
(1st half) (2nd half)
A minorAm > FF FF > C majorC G+G > A minorAm G+G > A minorAm
E MajorE|--------|---------|-----------|----------|
BB|--------|---------|-----------|----------|
G+G|--------|---------|-----------|----------|
D MajorD|--------|---------|------0h2--|----------|
A augmentedA|-0------|--0-2-3--|--0h2------|-------0--|
E MajorE|---3--1-|---------|-----------|--3-4-----|
High notes are emphasized for the C majorC and G+G parts in the finger picking and it changes
throughout the song. Here's an example of how I play the C majorC > G+G > A minorAm part.
