_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _

You know subscribing to Marty music right here
Sharing the videos spreading the word really appreciate that but enough of that
Let's zoom in and break down this classic right now here.
[Em] We go
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So [Em] that's a nice acoustic strumming pattern
that _ works really well for this song.
There's a few other guitar parts going on that are
really great, but this is, you know, this is the meat of the song.
So that rhythm, and
you've got this.
E [D] minor, D, [G] G.
_ [Em] Oh yeah, E [D] minor, D, G.
_ _ [Em] You can E minor, G, [C] to the C, C, [Em] C, but the E minor, [D] [G] G.
_ [Em] So there's something interesting about that.
_ _ They're anticipated, except when it goes to
that C.
So check it out.
_ _ _ [D] _
See, it's the [Em] up strum.
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ [F#] So the D and G are both up strums of
that [Em] pattern.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
And so then when it goes E [E] minor, D, [F#] C, they're all hitting the down strums.
And then it goes [Em] right back to the anticipated.
_ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
See that?
Here it is [D#] really slow.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ E minor.
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ Now they're all down.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] I don't know [G] what's right.
_ [Em] I got [D] just [G] one life.
_ And [Em] down, [D] down, [C] D, D, C, C, C, C, [Em]
but
E [D] minor, D, [G] G. _ _ _
[C] _ _ [E] So now there's another little anticipation.
And this is really good practice is you have
a [C] C chord, _ _ and then playing G with these [G] fingers. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ But it happens so fast that you can just take
this C chord, _ _ _ [Em] and then index comes off, and these two fingers just scoot up to the E string
and the second fret of the A string.
Check it out.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Em] But E minor, [G] D, G, C, [C] G, C.
Check it out. _ _
_ _ So you got to go C, G, C strum [D] to D, [G] G.
It always goes back to that G on this chorus.
So _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] C, _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] G, [C] C, _ [G] G, [D] D, _ _ [C] G, C.
_ _ [D] G, D, _ _ _ _ [G] [C] G, C, _ _ [G] G, [D] D. _ _
And this time it doesn't do it, because then it goes back to [Em] E minor, _ [G] D, G.
_ _ [Em] Now I _ [G] won't.
Down, _ _ _
[C] _ C, [D] G, D, _ [C] G, C, _ [D] G, D, _ [C] G, C, _ [G] [D] G, D.
_ [C] [Em] And then no G there, then E minor, D, [G] G, _ _ E minor, D, G.
All right, let's try it from the top.
Three, [Em] four.
E minor, [G] D, G, _
_ _ [Em] E minor, [G] D, G, _
_ _ [Em] E [D] minor, D, [C] C, C, C, C, [Em] but E [D] minor, [G] D, G again.
[Em] Well, E [D] minor, [G] D, G, _ [Em] yeah, E minor, _ [G] D, D, _ _ [Em] E minor, [C] D, C, _ [Em] _ E minor, [G] D, G.
Here we go.
_ [Em] _ Go [G] back down.
C, G, [C] _ C, [D] G, D, _ [C] G, C, G, [D] D, _ [G] [C] G, C, [D] G, D, no G.
[Em] E minor, [G] D, G.
_ _ _ [Em] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ All right, there it was.
