Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Chords: The F, G & Am chords during the breaks and chorus’s are played as per normal.
the C & F’s during the intro & verses are played as such: the C is as per normal but with
pinky finger on string 1, fret 3. The F in the verse’s is played, from the C shape
by merely dropping fingers 2 & 3 (the two middle ones) one string down each, your
and index figures stay where they are throughout all the C-F changes. Thus the change
C to F and back to C again during the verse’s is done by merely moving fingers 2 & 3 up or
one string each.

Strum: In the verse’s the C is played two down-one up with a change into F which is
down-up, down-up and then back into C again. Listen to the song intro and you will
Try changing the strum pattern in the break & chorus for maximum effect
