-2 sounds most like the actual song and is relatively easy
I absolutely love this song! +3 is easiest <3
I think -2 is easiest for me, but for bm I just do the lower three strings and only strum those ones. I also strum up and down for the chorus but only strum once for the rest, hope this helps!
Thank you beautiful sick over that was so helpful and easy.
*strumming
What’s the stumbling pattern?
Try +3, omitting the Gs in verses with C G Am G F all in one line like ‘Please take mine so yours can open too’, it sounds more cheerful and is the easiest.
+3 is easiest
