Guitar Tip
The most important thing with
this song is not to over-strum. The original melody has a very smooth,
flowing character.
For a more beautiful acoustic
version, try playing the first line of each verse with light fingerpicking,
then move into the D-DU-DU pattern for the refrain.
A useful practice progression
is:
G → Em → Am → D → G
Once this becomes comfortable,
the song will feel very natural on an acoustic guitar.
