Chords

For the strumming use a simple base-strum down-up style. Listen to the song for what best. To get it to sound more like the song, I do a hammer-on for the next note after the base So for G chord I hammer on 2nd fret on A string with 1st finger. For Dsus4/F# hammer on fret on G string with 2nd finger, etc. So you hammer on right after plucking the base and before the strum. Don't do this for D and Em, just strum regularly. Chords used:

Blowing             down the flame

   G         Dsus4/F#        Em7     D	   Em

Verse: (same as verse 1) Wish you’d think of me The way I think of you Well I find it hard to breathe Cause now I know the truth So what good would fingers be If it weren’t for diamond rings? Now I know you’re leaving me And I know that I’m no king Chorus: (same) And you said you wanted a better life And you will tell me oh what you find And then I stay the whole night through And I turn from sad to blue Yeah I’m choking after you Miss, I’m choking now, do you? Go ahead now, tell them all about it (Solo plays here, strum chorus in the background) Verse: So what good would fingers be If it weren’t for diamond rings? Now I know you’re leaving me And I know that I’m no king
