Strumming Pattern for those who keep asking in the comments
For the verses and the chorus I use DuuduD and the Pre-chorus I use ddu-udu then on the bridge I replace the Ab with E7 and use dd-udu
Idk I thought it sounded good
Such a great song
The pre-chorus is actually:
F Am G C
He has fallen in love
Em G F
He knows it’s enough
Am G Em G
And the world looks down and frowns
AHH I’ve been waiting for this song for a long time! This is one of my favorites. I’m so excited to see them next week
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND I WANT TO LEARN AS MANY SONGS AS POSSIBLE BY THEM
E7 sound better than Ab for me
Play G instead of Ab.
This is my dad boogie woogie woogie
I love this song
Hey! I did this song for the first time today and LOVED it! I highly recommend it and now I will play it again thank you very much! XD
The lyrics are wrong
It’s “He has fallen in love, he knows it’s enough, but the world looks down and frowns’
it’s actually: he has fallen in love, he knows it’s enough
Bmaj sounds better than Ab.
love this
Very easy! Instead on doing the wonky fingers on the Ab I just turned the top line on notes into a barre.
YESSS
I use the strumming pattern DDUU
and just do one strum when it sounds good.
Easiest version i’ve found is +5
