Let's zoom in and break this one down though right [B] now here.
We go okay
So it starts with this little interlude, and we're gonna play a G [G] chord
And [C] I like to play [A#] the G chord in this song with the pinky on the third of the high E
ring finger on [G] the third of the B and
So the intro starts with this G note
[F#] Then the second fret on the low E string while we're still holding [G] that
And I'm pretty much just muting that a string first with my middle finger
[Gm] Then [E] [F#] this time with my index finger
[Gm] So [G]
[F#] [G] one and [F#] two you [G] can do all down strums
[A]
A
[D] To D
So [G] we got
[Gm] [A] [D]
[G] G [F#] over F [G] sharp [A] [D] Hey D
[G] next time G [F#] then that [Gm] second [A] fret then a
And you can [C] add that sus4 which is [B] the third fret of the [A] B string
[G] So [Gm] [A]
[D] [G] [Gm]
[A]
that's the [B] first part then it goes into the verse which is a
[G] G and [A] D
[G] [D]
[A] Hey gee Hey
[G] gee
[D]
[Em] And if you notice my right hand down up down up down up [A] down
[G] [D]
[A] [G]
[F]
So
[A]
[E] [A] after
[G] [D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
that [C] third one [G] it's B minor
[Bm] Which [G#m] is just like a minor up a whole step with the finger bar [Bm] down then [G] G then a
[A]
then
[G] So [G#m] it's a build up on a and you can add that [A] sus if you want [D]
[A] [E] then it does the chorus [G] which is [D] G
And [G] this time we're gonna go G [D] D
[B] Well, we're gonna get our thumb [F#] over that second fret of the E string right there that F [G] sharp note
[D]
Then [C] an a chord, [E] but if you can get the low E [A] in there
[D] Back to [C] D.
That's a cool sound because you get a [G] bass line [F#] [E]
[D] [G] [Gm]
[E] [A] [D] [G]
so
[D] So [A] [D]
[G] [D] [A]
[E] every other it doesn't go to D.
It does the a with the sus [G] so [D] GD
[A] [D] AAD
[G] [D] GD
[A] a sus for [G]
G [D] D [A] a
[D] AAD [G] [D] GD
[A] [D] AAD interlude intro, [Gm] [A]
[D] but just the one [A] time with that [Gm] D chord
[A] [D] Back to [E] the verse might as well just go over [G] the whole thing from the [A] verse now
[G]
[D] [G] [A] AAD GD
[G] AAD
[D] [A] [G]
[D] GD [Bm] B minor G [G] then [A] a
Then we have a build up.
Yeah
You know build up and then the [G] chorus [D] GD
[A] [D] AAD [G] [D] GD
[A]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] Hey
GD AAD [G] [D] [A] GD
[D] [G] Interlude
[A] [D] [A#]
