In the studio version: D, A, Bm, G

In This version: E, B, C#m, A

I play it as: G, D, Em, C (Easiest way to play it)

C major: C, G, Am, F

There are 8 other ways to play it, but these are the four that most people should know.

cool (* ◡ *)

is indeed the best cover band in the world.

Green Day - Holiday (first verse) and Blink 182 - What's my Age again (chorus) would fit in there as well

[99070208]

It would be the same thing, only an octave (or two) lower. If it isn't low enough, go down another octave (On piano.) If you are playing bass, you can't play minor chords so just play the note. If you want some of the other eight chord progressions, they are:

A, E, F#m, D

B, F#, G#m, E

F, C, Dm, A#

F#, C#, D#m, B

G#, D#, Fm, C#

A#, F, Gm, D#

C#, G#, A#m, F#m

D#, A#, Cm, G#

please look up the word genetic then the spelling of code.

they finally made a 4 chord song and it was a hit, proving their rule.

[WaterBoyGaming1]
