[C]
[N] Hey, Eric here from OneStarGuitarLessons.com giving you this quick lesson by Boston Amanda.
What we're going to do for the intro is start out with [G] a G,
[C] C.
[G]
[C] [G] For a quick strumming pattern
we're just going down, down, [C] down, up, down, up, up, [G] down, up, down, down, [C] down, up, up,
and we're going to go right into the verse.
[G] G.
[C]
[G] E [Em] minor.
[Bm] B minor.
[C] C.
[G] G slash B.
A [Am] minor.
[G] G.
[D] D.
E.
[C#] Now for a strumming pattern here, [D] you can switch up quite a bit, so for the [G] verse part,
down.
Down, [C] up, down, up, [G] up, down, up, down.
Down, [Em] down, up, down.
Down, down, [Bm] up, down.
Down, down, up, up.
Down, [C] down, up, down.
[G] Down, down, up, down.
Down, [Am] down, down, down.
Down, [G] down, up, down.
Down, down, [D] up, down.
So [G#] that's sort of a rough idea of a quick strumming pattern.
It repeats and goes to
the [G] next verse.
[C]
I'm getting too [G] close to this, [Em]
I wanna see.
[D] [Bm]
[A] If [C] I'm tired tonight, [G] will you turn off the
light?
[Am] Walk away, [G] no one [D] will know you.
Okay, after that we're gonna go to the chorus part.
E minor.
I'm [Em] gonna take you by surprise.
[Am] A minor.
You realize [D]
I'm from the end of the deep.
I'm [Em] gonna sell you right away.
[Am] Wait another [D] day, Amanda.
Now [C] for this part here, I'm just [Em] gonna go down, down, [Am] down, down, down, [D] down, down,
down, down, down, down, up, up, up, down, [Em] down, [Am] down, down, down, down, [D] down, down,
down, down, up, up, down, down, down.
And then you're gonna end in the C.
[C] I love you.
[F]
Basically I'm gonna repeat those verse chords again and [G] the chorus chords and there's [F#] one
more other major [C#] change.
In that [G#] other major change, you're gonna go to the [E] bridge, E,
to B [Bm] minor, you get [A] A [E] to [Bm] B minor, it [E]
goes
You and I, [Bm] I know we can win, [E] and I swear that it's not a lie.
[Bm] So you continue this, then you go to C.
[A] [C] You, [D] D, D minor, G, [G] D slash [D] F sharp, [Em] E minor, [D] D [C] to C, [Am] not tomorrow, A minor [D] B to A.
Okay, so in that part right there, in the bridge [E] part
Down, down, up, down, up, [Bm] down, down.
And [E]
[Bm]
[C]
[D] [G] [D]
[Em] [D] [C]
[Am] [D] this sort of gives me a rough idea of how to play this [Em] song.
[Am] [D]
