View chords used in this chart
The verses in the songs should be played softer and quieter and the Choruses can be played slightly
louder, but still with a loose strumming pattern. Other than that it is pretty straightforward.
There is no acoustic version of this song yet so this is simply the way I hear the original version.
Comment if there are any improvements you may have.
