You can make the strum pattern however you want but you can listen to the actual song if
you want to a sense for timing and changing of chords. I play it a little slower and
don't include a solo, yet I find doing the standard solo from the recording works well.
Just listen along to the song to know when to change chords.
Intro: Cmaj7
Verse 1: (all verses are the same as this, just adapt to the song)
Cmaj7
What's wrong baby,
Fmaj7
Don't they treat you like they should?
Cmaj7
Did you take 'em for it?
Fmaj7
Or every penny that you could?
Pre-Chorus: Same when found in the song
Am F
We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand.
C G
Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.
Chorus: (Same for all and you can either play F instead of Fmaj7 but it follows the CD
better to make it Fmaj7 but it still works if you just play an F)
Fmaj7 G
If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?
Em F
Would you mean this please if it happens?
Fmaj7 G
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Em F
Won't you get your story straight.
Fmaj7 G
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
Em F
Cause I need this now more than I ever did.
Fmaj7 G
If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.
(Repeat Verse)
Bridge:
I just strum once x22002 and then x3300x and go back and forth until I either go back
into the song or just play a solo that fits for the song.
