Song Structure & Chord Progression

Matches the free chart linked above (verified 2026-09-19) — this replaces an earlier no-capo A/E/F#m/D version that didn’t match this chart, and adds a real Bridge I’d said didn’t exist:

  • Verse: G – Em – D – C – G (×2 lines)
  • Chorus: G – D – Em – C – G – D – C – G
  • Bridge: Em – D – G – C – G – D – Em – F – C – G – D – D7
  • Chorus (repeated ×2 to close, plus a short tag)

There is a real Bridge here.

Strumming Pattern

Eighth-note strum at 164 bpm for both verse and chorus — brisk, singalong tempo.
