Note: I use the term "measure" generously

I finger pick the song cuz it is easier for me to do it that way. But I play it out of a G (320033), Cadd9 (x32033), Dsus4 (xx0233) for the intro, and the verse I play (all full chords listed above) G for 2 measures, Cadd9 for 1 measure, and a D (xx0232) for 1 measure. I loop that until I get to the bridge.
Then I play an Em (022000) to G to Cadd9 to D (all one measure).

For the chorus, Em/G/Em/G/Cadd9/D (kinda off, but I can't quite get it. It works too if you take out the 2nd G and head rite from Em to Cadd9).

Now for the Intro picking, not too difficult, easier done with fingers than a pick...

Code: Select all

E:-----------------------------------------------------------------
B:-------3---------------3---------------3-----------------3-------
G:----------0---------------0---------------0-----------------2----
D:-----0-------0-------0------0--------2--------2--------0------0--
A:----------------------------------3-----------------0------------
E:--3---------------3----------------------------------------------

Play the intro for the outro, and end by strumming thru a G. I wish that I could tell you the strumming pattern but that usually messes a person up, and I have no verbal way of communicating that you. Furthermore, if you do have any questions, IM me or PM me. That is as close to as right as I can provide.

peace

Thanks, and yeah, I really don't like it that much (way over played). It is an acoustic song that a lot of ppl know so I learned it. Women I find like it a lot, and I don't know why, but whatever.

Whenever I hear this, I think of the last Seinfeld episode. I should not be remembering the ending of the greatest comedy in the history of television by such a mediocre song.

I am fully convinced that they wrote this song with EXACTLY the intentions of having it played at graduations, etc.

Not one of my favorites, either.

I agree with that. They said once that they never expected it to be played at proms and whatnot cause they didn't even go to their own. That's a bunch of B.S. They wrote it for proms...
