Form of the Song

"White Horse" is the second single from
Taylor Swift's record-breaking second studio album, Fearless. The 2008 album landed Swift at number one in its first week, with "White Horse" as the sad, slow song to follow-up the album's debut single "Love Story."

This particular song takes a deeper look into the darker side of Swift's love songs, using a slow piano melody with talks of fairytales not coming true. The piano has been translated to guitar chords, allowing the guitarist come up with their own strumming pattern, to interpret the song in their own way.

The intro uses a picking pattern, but guitarists can lightly strum if it's not comfortable to pick. The same chords are used throughout most of the song, tagging on the Bb chord in the bridge. Follow along to learn the chords and get an idea for your strumming pattern. 

"White Horse" uses the following song form:

* Intro
* Verse 1
* Chorus
* After-chorus
* Verse 2
* Chorus
* After-chorus
* Bridge/breakdown
* Chorus
* After-chorus
* Outro
