For this song we're going to use the chords G _ _
You start with the G note play every other note G

Have all the C notes marked to help you reference those faster.
So you're [G] going to use a G a C and _
E minor which [Em] starts with the E and plays every other note a
D
[D] starts the D plays an F sharp and an A _
Use your thumb first finger middle finger [Am] and an A minor starts the A every other note
So for the chords the [G] the G a
[Am] _
Minor [C] C and E minor are played with the exact same formation
[G] _ Every other key start with the [Am] G start with an A [C] start with the C
Start with the E, [D] but the D is actually going to play a sharp _ _
_ [G] So what you're gonna do with the right hand start out just playing the chords _ _
And in order to get a rhythmic pattern just make sure your timing is down
_ _ I Need [D] you _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Soften my heart _
[C] break me apart.
[G] I need you
_ _ _ [D] Open my eyes
[Em] See that you're shaping
[C] _ _
And _ _ all I'm doing here is moving down an octave you can play it either way here but
