Chords
C* -> x|3|2|0|1|3 or x|3|5|5|5|3
Gm add9 -> 3|5|5|3|3|5
It's played with thumb alternating between the lowest strings of the chord, while the 3 fingers play 2
times the highest strings of the chords between thumb picks. At coda you can do strumming.
(Am/E) is only played as transition, although he plays only on the 5th string space 0, 2 and 3;
2 and 3 instead of 3 finger pluck. He plays with the thumb notes like the whole song, I just simplified it
You can either play G/D as it is or as G, since with G you can alternate bases
[Intro]
Strum Am once
Am C* Oooh Am (Am/E) C* F/C Ooh
[Verse 1]
C* If I start with a guitar E7 Even though I don’t play well Am F And be still until the melody C* Claims what’s on my heart E7 Then it won’t have to stay there Am And soon I can set it free
[Chorus]
C* G/D Simple and true C* F I just don’t know what I’m gonna do without you C* G/D Simple and plain C* F And I just don’t know how I would ever say it any other way C* G Simple and true Am I still love you
[Post-Chorus]
C* ..ooh Am (Am/E) C* F/C Ooh
[Verse 2]
C* If I hold this in my hands E7 And rock back and forth Am F Could I soon play a song to sing C* To add to the millions of other E7 Songs to lost lovers Am Will mine lift up a spirit at all
If you hear it
[Chorus]
C* G/D Simple and true C* F I just don’t know what I’m gonna do without you C* G/D Simple and plain C* F And I just don’t know how I would ever say it any other way C* Gmadd9 Simple and true
[Coda]
