Song Structure & Chord Progression
Matches the free chart linked above (verified 2026-09-19) — this replaces an earlier version of this note that had a fabricated Bridge with a Bm chord that doesn’t actually appear in this song:
- Intro: G – Cadd9 D – G – Cadd9 D
- Verse: G – Cadd9 D – G – Cadd9 D – Em – D – C – G – Em – D – C – G
- Chorus: Em – G – Em – G – Em – D – G
- Interlude: G – Cadd9 D – G – Cadd9 D
- Instrumental (after 2nd chorus, longer): G – Cadd9 D ×4 – Em – D – C – G ×2
- Outro: G – Cadd9 D – G – Cadd9 D – G
No bridge in this version, and no Bm or Am anywhere in the song.
Strumming Pattern
This chart is strummed, not fingerpicked — eighth-note pattern throughout at 95 bpm. There’s a well-known fingerpicked interpretation of this song too, but that’s a different, more advanced arrangement — not what this free chart teaches.
