Song Structure & Chord Progression
Matches the free chart linked above (verified 2026-09-19) — this is a bigger jump in difficulty and chord count than an earlier, simplified version of this note suggested:
- Intro: Am – D7 – G – Cmaj7 – F – Dm – E – E7 – E
- Verse: Am – D7 – G – Cmaj7 – F – Dm – E – E7 – E, then Am – D7 – G – Cmaj7 – F – Dm – E – G – G7
- Chorus: C – G – F – G – F – C – C, then C – G – F – G – F – C – Dm – E
- Bridge: same chords as the Verse, used once before the final chorus
- Final Chorus (×2)
There is a genuine Bridge, but it reuses the verse’s chords rather than introducing new ones.
Strumming Pattern
No strumming pattern has been submitted on this specific chart. Given the chord density, a medium-tempo, laid-back strum (not fast) is the practical choice — prioritise clean changes through Dm → E → E7 first.
