Read on to see how i play the song (i.e. chords, tabs, strumming and plucking pattern)
This is from her latest album Speak Now!
Chords:
Verse and Chorus: G, D, Am, C
Pre-chorus and Bridge: Am, C, G, D

Plucking Pattern for the Chords during the Song whatever the order of chords is, this is the plucking part:
G: Pluck the 6th, 3rd and 2nd strings
D: Pluck the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings
Am: Pluck the 5th, 3rd and 2nd strings
C: Pluck the 5th, 3rd and 2nd strings

For the chorus if you don't like the sound of D you can use Dsus4 which i used in the vid for the strumming.

Strumming Pattern:
Chorus (for each chord): DDUUDU
Also make sure you adjust accordingly when she sings the words "Speak Now"

  • @dogdevil94life shouldn't the first part be strumming instead of plucking?

  • @Jellyfishy951 i've seen in most of her live versions that it starts with plucking. however i have seen some live versions that use a form of strumming. Plucking is better for this song imho.

  • soo perfect! but do you know if you could strum it at the beginning or would that sound weird..

  • @ontheliine yes u can! If you did you it would be two downstrums. It would sound similar to the part at around 1:13-1:16, except your strokes should be shorter than that because i did that for fun in this video.

  • I'm sorry but wheres Dsus4?

    I'm new to playing the guitar.

    Thanks for the help, i enjoy your videos. They helped me ALOT! :)

    Thanks again.

  • @LightOfBlessings The fingering for it is 000233 but if you are having trouble you can also play a D chord instead... whatever you like. Any other questions just ask! Cheers!
