Capo 5
Standard Tuning
So you mostly just strum the chords once
excpet at the end of each verse, the begining of the song, and the ending
in wich you strum them pretty fast.
Theres 5 beats between each chord so that youd hit the chord count 5 hit in the next, if
gets kind of confusing that should help.
Anyway this is my first time posting a tab, my guitar teacher taught me it so it should
right. Enjoy :) .
