tuning : standard
if you want to play and sing this song on acoustic , this is what i would suggest .
i strum as follows during the verses . this is just a guideline . you’ll want to
change strumming pattern for the chorus . work with timing by listening to song
and playing what’s comfortable for you .

outro :
verse strum pattern

E – B – A x4 ( hold last note . feel free to finish off with one more E )

this is really a simple song as far as the music goes . timing the strumming
and singing simultaneously is the hardest part to get the hang of .
have fun with this one!
