Song Structure & Chord Progression

Matches the free chart linked above (verified 2026-09-19) — adds the D7 that was missing before:

  • Intro: G – C – G – D
  • Verse: G – C – G – D (×4 lines), closing tag: D – G – Em – C – D – G – D7
  • Chorus: D7 (pickup) – G – C – G – D (repeated for “sha la la”)
  • Bass solo: G – C – G – D

No separate bridge — confirmed, the “sha la la” tag is part of the chorus, not a new section.

Strumming Pattern

Fast — 151 bpm, eighth-note pattern. Bright, driving strum; the intro alone spans a full 16-beat phrase before the verse settles into the standard 4-beat pattern.
