Chords with lyrics
The chords after the first chorus might need some explaining:
Chords that are connected with a hyphen, such as A-E, are played right after one another. The E MajorE
chord is played after only 2 strums of the A.
Chords that are followed by a space, such as D MajorD A augmentedA E, are played almost right after one another. The
A augmentedA chord is played after about 4 strums of the D, and the E MajorE after about 4 strums of the A.
Chords that are followed by a comma, such as E MajorE , D MajorD , A-E, are played like the normal playing style
of the rest of the song. The D MajorD is played after about 6 strums of the E MajorE (and this is the same for the
verses, pre-choruses, and choruses)
Refer to Chorus 2: for more understanding of the chord structure.
