Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

  CRDS :  E A D G B e
 D7sus :  x x 0 2 1 3

Rest of the chords are pretty simple......just play open chords ....and
maybe you could Barre the F.

Note: when on D7, switching from D7 to Dsus7 and when on Dsus7, make sure
you hit the high "e" string (thinnest).....to get that 'catchy sound'.
(Try doing this using an upstroke and the end of each chord)

strumming: Freestyle or arpeggio.....whichever sounds better to you.

.........this one's from memory........the chord switch makes sense from
the 2nd verse......enjoy!
