Say it Isn't So-Outfield (J.Spinks)(Album: Play Deep,1985)
Original recording in Key of E
Capo 2 in Key of D for ease of chording.
These are novice rhythm chords. I highly doubt they are perfect.
(they sound pretty close) Play along with song for strum timing,
you might notice the chord pattern emerge after a couple stanzas.
The redundancy of the D D is to remind the player of the
additional beat on that note.
Intro:
(D D A G) (D D A G)(D D A G) (D D A ... into verse 1)

I'd like to know if there's somebody else in this game

I can't sleep at night,

Facing the day,
G D D A G
a face in the crowd

I'm sure I saw you just a moment ago

(Say it isn't so) if you got the magic touch

See a lot of pretty girls passing by
