---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords Strum A
The form of this song is a standard 4-section AABA type. The section “A” is a repetitive,
and the section “B” is a hook (bridge) so the chord strumming also has two deference types
First, let me introduce about the chord strums of main A section.
Use the acoustic guitar to play strum, as follow:
Em G D
E |--0-----0-----3--3--3--3--|--2-----2-----2--2--2--2--|
B |--0-----0-----0--0--0--0--|--3-----3-----3--3--3--3--|
G |--0-----0-----0--0--0--0--|--2-----2-----2--2--2--2--|
D |--2-----2-----0--0--0--0--|--0-----0-----0--0--0--0--|
A |--2-----2-----2--2--2--2--|--0-----0-----0--0--0--0--|
E |--0-----0-----3--3--3--3--|--x-----x-----x--x--x--x--|
|--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|--V—V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|
*Notice, that on the 8th bar of the section A2 and A3, the chords are changed to be Em,
The meaning of music theory is to end the piece of music to the key Em down
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords Strum Section B
The strumming of the section B used difference chord from section A. This is the song of conscience.
The chords of section B may be more special, it feels that the sounds are out of tune.
The chords progression is easy. Just 2 chords, the ii chord and IV chord (ii- IV), easy to play and not
to be mistaken.
Am C
E |--0--0--0--0-----0--0-----|--0--0--0--0-----0--0-----|
B |--1--1--1--1-----1--1-----|--1--1--1--1-----1--1-----|
G |--2--2--2--2-----2--2-----|--0--0--0--0-----0--0-----|
D |--2--2--2--2-----2--2-----|--2--2--2--2-----2--2-----|
A |--0--0--0--0-----0--0-----|--3--3--3--3-----3--3-----|
E |--0--0--0--0-----0--0-----|--3--3--3--3-----3--3-----|
|--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|--V—V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|
In fact, learning both strumming chords, you will be able to play the whole song.
However, if you want to full play and practice the whole song, the following paragraphs are
to introduce how to play the chords arpeggios
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords Arpeggios
If you like playing Chord Arpeggios or Broken Chords,
this song also differs in that, but it is played by the low strings, easy to play and sound smooth.
Chords Arpeggios in the Intro and the section A1 are play not full of two bars.
And the rest are playing full 2 bars, reference to the Tab of the guitar as follows:
Em G D
E |--------------------------|--------------------------|
B |--------------------------|--------------------------|
G |--------------------------|--------------------------|
D |--------------0-----------|-----0--------0--------0--|
A |--------2--------2-----2--|--0--------0--------0-----|
E |--0--3-----3--------3-----|--------2--------2--------|
|--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|--V—V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|
If friends do not like play low strings, you could change to playing high string as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Chord
The Power Chords in this song played just use 2 Low String
for beginners would be little difficult to play.
Song in the section B, in the first 6 bars use the ii chord and IV chord cycle.
Am C
E |--------------------------|--------------------------|
B |--------------------------|--------------------------|
G |--------------------------|--------------------------|
D |--------------------------|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|
A |--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
E |--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|--------------------------|
|--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|--V—V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|
But the 7th and 8th bars in the end section, with three chords, that is the ii chord, V chord and vi
chord. And the rhythm changes can make the song more appealing. By the following:
Am D Em D
E |--------------------------|--------------------------|
B |--------------------------|--------------------------|
G |--------------------------|--------------------------|
D |-----------7-----7--7--7--|--9--9--9-----7-----------|
A |--7--7--7--5-----5--5--5--|--7--7--7-----5-----------|
E |--5--5--5-----------------|--------------------------|
|--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|--V—V--V--V--V--V--V--V--|
Well, it is not difficult to you, right? But if you could not play the power chords
get more practice to try to be good.
