What is the strumming pattern please 🙂
When I played this the first time I played the BMs as EMs accidentally. Oops
I prefer C much better :)) But I also replaced Bm to D for it is much easier and I have trouble fingering Bm when I play the song, as it delays me and I get soo fustrated :DD ~McKayla xx
Emma Bee it isn’t just you. It sounds a lot better with Am rather than C. X
Does anyone know any good finger picking patterns to this?
The C’s on the “when you’re gone”‘s in the chorus don’t sound right so I changed them all to Am’s in my version. Might just be me x
I change the Bm’s in the chorus’s to D’s and it sounds better 😀 x
