Intro (repeated twice) Play a single strum of the E, A, B and finally A chords, which were all covered in the 'Pseudo chords' lesson on the previous page
Sections A This section plays the same chords, working up through 4th, 8th and finally 16th strumming.
Section B This bridge section includes F#m and G#m, which can be played as standard barre chords. However, in the video accompanying this lesson, I show you easier variations, which are shown in the TAB also.
Sections A repetition This repetition of section A still has the different accented strumming from section B, for those who wish to attempt it by studying the video and audio carefully.
