Choosing your battles

Pick yourself up

And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline

Everyone's watching

You know it's serious

We're getting closer
This isnt over

You feel it

Their Expectations

Go on and feed them

No hesitations

You paved the way

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.

Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.
