Description
Notes From John
A strum part in tab, 4/4 at BPM = 155, with “Capo 1” printed at the top. Shape names are relative to the capo. The intro, the 0:50 re-intro and the 1:53 outro strum G in steady down-up eighths. The verses switch to a tied pattern on G and D, with strums held across the beat and accents on some strums. The choruses at 0:38 and 1:27 drop to quarter-note down strokes on C, Bm, A and D. The 1:27 chorus stops on one D strum with rests, then strums D in down-up eighths into Verse 3. Strokes are marked at the start of most sections, not over every bar. The part ends on a held G under a fermata.
For the player
The pattern changes by section: down-up eighths in the intro, re-intro and outro, the tied pattern in the verses, quarter notes in the choruses. Ride each gear change, and leave the rests after the single D strum before Verse 3. At BPM = 155 the job is the feel.
