[Strumming]
Strumming is typically the base note followed by the remainder of the chord in a 3 beat pattern.
I have put the chord that aligns to the lyrics as a starting point, however there are more strums between
the chords than what is listed below.
In the chord sheet I've bracketed notes that aren't always played and/or aren't essential. However
in the tab I have ommitted the brackets for clarity.
[Tips]
The end of the bars for the chorus are single note strums where it goes
G A G F# (5 7 5 4 on the low D string) and G F# E D (5 4 2 0 on the low D string)
Similarly the bridge has a section where it goes G F# E back to F# (5 4 2 4 on the low D string)
The bridge on the low D string goes for the following counts: 5x1 4x1 5- 4- 2- 2*x3 5- 4- 2- 4x1 5x1 12x1 5- 4- 2- 4x1 5x1 12x1 5- 4- 2- 4x1 5x1 12x1 5- 4- 2- 2*x2 5*x2
Where:
"5x1" is for the D chord and 1 set of 3 beats
"2*x2" is for the E* chord 2 sets of 3 beats
"x3" is for 3 sets of 3 beats
"4-" is for the F# chord and single strum only

I'm so scared of my guitar. If I play it, then I'll think too hard
