Here's another song to start a sing-a-long at parties when the crowd begins
die down. This is also another great song for beginners since about 90% of
the song derives from your simple D chord; so the only thing to worry about
is the strumming pattern, which I will show you. If you have any problems
with the timing, just listen to the song. When you have made your
judgement please rate.
The beat is in 4/4 and it's pretty fast and it's in standard tuning.
Strumming pattern:
D=down
