Notes:

  • Level Of Ease: All chords are easy to play and the song is suitable for beginners. The timing is a little tricky with this version but listen carefully and follow the chord chart closely... you'll soon get the hang of it.
  • Beginners can play the open version of the chord Bm... xx4432 - don't forget to avoid the bottom 2 strings.
  • The repeat sign / means you repeat the previous chord in the bar. Keeping in mind we are in 3/4 time (3 quarter-note beats per bar), here are some examples relating to the song:
     
 1. Am  D     2. Am      D 
 ‖         /  ‖      /      ‖
    Bar 1: Play Am for 1 beat and D for 2 beats.
    Bar 2: Play Am for 2 beats and D for 1 beat.
