Tom: G
The rhythm is like:
V V V V
The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats,
except for the Em where the B note is played
instead of the low E
I play it like:
down down-up
There is a chord towards the end I called
C which I
don't know the official name of but the fingerings are:
C G Em E7 Am C
e N 3 N N N N
b 1 3 0 3 1 1
g 0 0 0 1 2 0
d 0 0 2 2 2 2
a 2 2 2 2 0 3
E N 3 N 0 N N
The
C is the chord that is commonly used for
transferrring a
C chord to the
Am chord. So
play whatever you normally would for doing that.
