i dont know why, but i find this song very diffucult to sing, but if u play it at -2 it actually works fine!
strumming pattern?
if you do -4 its easy and sounds like the song 🙂
I’m seeing a lot of people playing this -2 or +1 to make it easier, but the easiest is actually -4, because this puts it into the key of c!
what’s the strumming pattern? :\
I’m using +1 because it’s easiest and the outdo doesn’t sound right so I’m using F instead
Instead of using E as the outro single strum C after F it sounds a lot better!
+1
It’s easier to play if you transpose it down 2 steps.
the outro doesn’t seem right
