Pretty song nice simple _ _
_ _ No crazy difficult chords here
See [Am] F if you use your ring finger for the C the F kind of falls in place
You [C] don't have to move your hand much at all.
See _
see
[G] Then you move over to [C] the D C and the what I call the second position F is an F with a C
It's an F.
You just leave the C down when you put the F _ _
That's it at the end of each line
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ [G] Moon shadow here [C] goes moon shadow
_ All I'm doing is placing the F down and I've got the C still there
See, I call it a second [F] position F because you got F F _
_ _ [E] _ _ [F] Whoops it's moving all the way up the fretboard
_ It's still [G] an F but it's starting to move up that's why I called it a second position then that's about it
I am going oh as far as the strum
I just called it a light breezy strum.
The truth is it mostly goes along with the lyrics
[C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ And you actually change the up or down
Depending on where you're where your lyrics go
So if you listen close to your lyrics that'll mostly tell you where you're where your strum is gonna [A] be
But [D] with this song, I'm not sure you can strum wrong
Anything you do is gonna sound pleasant and pretty and [N] lovely.
So I think you'll do just fine.
I'm gonna play through
_ _ The intro the chorus and the first verse in slow motion and close up on my fingers
So if you're having trouble with chord transitions, that might be helpful _ _
