Playing Tips:
Capo on 2nd Fret: This means all chord shapes are relative to the capo.
For example, when playing an Am chord with the capo on the 2nd fret, it actually
sounds as a Bm chord in standard tuning.
Chord Changes: The song moves through the chords at a moderate pace, with the
progression offering a mix of minor and major tones. Practicing the transitions
between these chords smoothly is key to maintaining the song's flow.
Finger Positioning for Chords:
Am: Place your index finger on the 1st fret of the B string, middle finger on the 2nd fret
of the D string, and ring finger on the 2nd fret of the G string.
C: Put your index finger on the 1st fret of the B string, middle finger on the 2nd fret of the
D string, and ring finger on the 3rd fret of the A string.

middle finger on the 2nd fret of the G string, ring finger on the 3rd fret of the A string, and
pinky on the 3rd fret of the D string) or as an easier version (x3321x), which doesn't require
barring.

low E string, and ring finger on the 3rd fret of the high E string.

It might help to listen to the track a few times to get a feel for the strumming pattern,
which is often a mix of down and upstrokes that match the emotional delivery of the lyrics.
Instrumental Sections: Use these sections to practice the chord transitions and experiment
with dynamics, playing softer or louder based on the emotional content of the song.

each chord change and strumming pattern, and enjoy the process of learning.
