[Em] [D] [Em]
[G] Hey guys, Guitar Pilgrim [Em] here and today it's Forner with I [C] Want To Know What Love Is.
Now we're [Em] gonna start off with E minor,
[G] goes on to D over [Em] F sharp, thumb, [G] first finger,
third finger, [D]
[Gm] then [Em] I hold my third finger, second and little finger, G power chord.
[G]
Not a typical way to play a power chord but it's a power [Em] chord nonetheless.
Next up, C, just remove your second [G] finger.
[Em] Let's take a look at the strumming.
Now on the last three strums you want to play the D over F sharp.
[D]
[F] Then it's on to the G power chord, same strumming pattern, but on the C it's only half the
strumming [G] pattern because it's just two beats.
And then it's back to [F] E minor.
So from the top [Em] and
[G]
[Em]
[Eb] then a nice [Em] little riff.
[G]
[Em] [D]
[G] Let's play the whole verse.
[D]

[E] [G]

[Am]
[D] [Am] Let's move on to the pre-chorus.
A minor 7, start with a [D] regular A minor, [Am] second, third, first finger and then simply add the
little finger at the third fret of the first string.
Then it's on to D [D] again, [C] C chord, third, second and first finger, a G [Eb] which you can
play whichever way you want.
I use just three [G] fingers and [Em] it's A minor again.
[Am] [E] And here a beauty, [C] such a sweet chord, C6 over D.
[Am] You can use other fingers as well for extra strength.
On to the strumming pattern.
Now [Ab] what's really important here is you want to have two accents on the down strum and
this down strum.
Quite a bit [Am] louder.
[D]
[D] [Am]

[Am] [G]
[Am] [D]

G chord, [G] you [Em] can also play [D] it with four fingers, doesn't really matter, whichever you [G] prefer.
Then we [Em] have E [D] minor, second, third finger, [Em]
[Am] on to the D [D] and lastly A [Am] minor.
[D] And those are all the chords of the [E] chorus.
Strumming!
[G]
[Eb] On the last three strums you want to play the [G] E minor.
[Em] [F] And it's on [D] to D, different strumming pattern now.
