0:41 - 0:45 PRE-CHORUS Strum E7 a few times before sliding into the octave. It seems weird, but that's how it's played - you just how to figure out the strumming. (E7)

(*) rhythm guitar - strum the F chord a few times before lifting your middle finger (continue strumming), place your middle finger on the 2nd fret, D-string, lifting your pinky, creating the C chord. It may seem way off, but that is the correct way. You just have to listen to the song.
