Carrie Underwood - All-american Girl

so this is my first chord tab . this is how i play it , it seems to work and a pretty good
crowd pleaser . i did do this by ear , so feel free to correct me if you actually know
the proper chords .

the strumming pattern i use changes throughout the song . for the into i use half a bar
of music ( 2 out of the 4 beats ) per chord ( G – dd D – uu , Em7 – uu D – uuudu – with a half down
strum to sometimes change chords ) and then during the verse i change to 1 chord per bar
of music ( ddu udu udu ) . the chorus is again a little different but you will see that in the
write up . ( i hope that made sense to people , if not make it up on your own )
