Chords

I'm adopting some abbreviations for this song because firstly, this song is easier to play with a pick because there are some special strumming patterns r=ring the chord

G=downstroke
u=upstroke

(d,u,d, stop)=quick downstroke,upstroke then downstroke then silencing the chord D (d,u,d,u)=change to D chord on the 1st 'u' stroke, so the 1st 'd' stroke in the sequence is still a C chord (very tough to catch this for me, must admit) NORMAL=normal d,u pick strokes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro (d,stop,d,u, muted d,u strokes)

Am7
I am 'ow I feel

I am 'ow I feel I am 'ow... Verse (d,stop,d,u, muted d,u strokes continue)

Dm
 I close my eyes and make a wish for

Inner peace and tranquillity inside

 My mind I feel it's changing

Breaking down the defences of my heart

 It's like a new adventure

And it's just my life Bridge
