  • As a post script, you pick the bass note for EACH of the chords not just the first chord.

    And on the D chord, the strumming pattern stays the same but from the Cadd9 (x32033) you go into Dsus (x00233) instead. Play the Dsus with the normal pattern but on the final 'U' you lift your pinky off to return the chord to a Dmaj (x00232). The Dmaj again is just using the normal pattern, plus that one extra up stroke at the beginning.

    Hope that made sense.

  • The strumming pattern you use is incorrect if you want to play it like the album version. It goes like this:

    D D UDU (repeated)

    The first D in this pattern is picked on the bass note rather a strum on multiple strings. The following 'D UDU' is just lightly strummed around the DGBE area.

    It's great that you're sharing your knowledge with people, but most people want to be taught a correct version. It's my opinion but you're not ready to teach a song until you can play it properly yourself.

  • Thanks for trying to help, but this is very incorrect so I checked out a live video of the weepies playing this and got it down.

  • terrible lesson!!! the strumming patter is wrong,,,the chords are also incorrect,,,its a simple song to play but you make it look imposible

  • yeah, you must be really pissed about all the money you spent on it.

  • i wish it was money!!! i will never get back those three minutes

  • Hey! Is there any way to play this without a capo?

  • hey i was just wondering what the stumming pattern was. i know it was in the video but you said it really fast. Thanks

  • I love this song and now, thanks to your help, I can play it! thanks :)

  • hey thats awesome, glad you love the song

  • Thank you SO much. I learned how to play the guitar JUST so I could play this song for the anniversary of my brother's death (this was one of his favorite songs), but when I went looking for the tabs, they weren't that helpful. This is a HUGE help, so thank you so much!

  • you are welcome, i am so sorry to hear about your brother, im glad the tabs helped. let me know if you need anything else

  • I can now play it! And I never would have been able to do it without your help (since I've only been playing guitar for two weeks), so thank you very much!
