How to play it
- Bar 1 is an introduction: a low G on the sixth string, then the pickup “we” on the open fourth string.
- The F♯ in bars 2, 5 and 8 is the fourth fret of the fourth string. Use your fourth finger and keep the first finger free for the C at the first fret of the second string.
- Three chords, G, C and D, change every bar or two. If you are strumming along, one strum per beat works.
