please add songs by ruel!! he’s amazing and i would love to play some of his songs (specifically don’t tell me, or say)
-4 I do one strum (downwards) on every chord except the c chord DUDU (quickly)
If you are a beginner I recommend transposing this song to -4! It is much easier and uses basic chords. Hope this helps!
