If you do it right, you'll get virtually no attack on your strum. [the riff] The riff doesn't sound good unless it's backed by a bass. If you're just playing this acoustically, play the chords. :) ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------2-2------2-2------2-2--2-0----------------- ------------------------------------------------- --0h2-------------------------------------------- -----------0h2------2h3-------------------------- [intro] Bm Gbm G (2x) [verse1] Bm Gbm G I fear nothing Bm Gbm G Besides my - self Bm Gbm G Please don't touch me Bm Gbm G Love like an infant trying to stand up [chorus] C G Am I two souls, one hard, one cold?
