If you have a hard time with Bb you can try F and instead of using C I use Am. Just flows better in my opinion.
This is super great. I wish this site would tell about the strum pattern, but even so. Very helpful. Absolutely love this song.
I keep envisioning Darth Vader…..
Thanks for posting! Also, thanks for the comment about the C chord. After giving it a few go’s, I’m working out where to skip it and go directly from A to Dm.
Surprised no ones pointed out instead of finishing with A C or am(which is just plain wrong) go A A7. A is the 5th of D so the A7 leads smooth back into the dm
+2 is easy and sounds good
I so love this song lots of feeling, I am enjoying playing again,
Thanks John
Replacing A and C with Am is closer to how it was originally written and IMO sounds better.
Do dm7 if you can instead of dm, gm7 instead of gm and
switch a and c for bbmaj7 (3-2-1-0) and am7 (0-0-0-0). Trust me, MUCH better
try dm> g7> cmaj7> a. It sounds different but slightly better than the original and also allows the hand to flow between chords.
