You can play it two different ways: 1 - Mediator and playing up and down 2 - Fingerpicking using four fingers When playing the bass line (E,A,D) you should let ring the other chords. You can also work the song without the bass notes at first just to get the rythm. And don't forget to sing along ! u stands for up (playing the chords up) d stands for down Intro: d u d u .... G . .

(verse 1) (chorus) (verse 2) (chorus) (verse 3) (chorus) Ok, it's a personal interpretation of course and far from the master's one... so send me comments, questions and improvements at : cdecugis@cybercable.fr So long !
