The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 112 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in B minor. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Drive the chorus with brisk down-ups and lighten the verses.

nice! -2 is good for beginners! The C can sounds a little off so sometimes I play G if I think it sounds better. Also I use a fast, loose island strum 🙂
