Someone knows the strumming pattern?
This was actually pretty difficult to transition between chords E and Abm.. especially cause I’m a lefty. 🙂 but i’ll get it
I play the verses with the chords C and E, and the chorus ‘Sing me a song’ I play F and G. I find this a lot easier than the chords given on this sheet. Let me know if anyone finds this easier.
Its easier to sing and play when it is transposed -2.
Easy mode by transposing +1 if you’re deathly afraid of learning new chords like me.
Easy song to play, but incredibly didficult to sing on your own!!
Nice song 🙂 great for the uke
