This song consists of basically a A-part and B-part that is repeated throughout.
Please note that the Cmaj7 is played for 6 counts, and the Bmaj7 is played for two.
All other chords is played for 4 counts.
The strumming pattern is a bit tricky as it consists of only downstrokes and a muted stroke in between.
As most chords are bar-chords its easy to mute by lifting that finger. Id suggest listening to the song
to get the right feel.
