Chords with lyrics
The picking/strumming and timing to this song can be a bit odd and/or difficult which is why I flagged it as
intermediate. Listen to the track a few times and you should be able to pick it up.
I liked using this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQkhbf4BtrE
When I write A-B-C I just mean the individual notes. So strum the A augmentedA string open, then the A augmentedA string on the
2nd fret, and then A augmentedA string on the 3rd fret into the C majorC chord. If you listen to the song you can get a better
sense of what it sounds like.
