Try the island strum as a starting point: d – d u – u d u. On this page the song is in G minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 restores the key you see here.

who died internally when they first heard this song bc it resonated with them so deeply?
haha existential crisis? what’s that?
+2 is also pretty easy
If you want the real music, here it is:
pluck the second string then the third and fourth together to these chords:
Em C G D Bm In that order 😀
-3 is pretty easy to play, and I just strummed D D D D for each note and it turned out really cool!
I love this song
Thanks for doing this song!
What’s the best strumming pattern?
+2 and play Em instead of E7
