[Intro]
(Strum this out, I havent given any real indication for timing here.
Listen to the song or watch the acoustic version on youtube to gain a better understanding.
Most strums are downwards, but I like to play the little part where you add the 9th fret to the D#m7 as a
a quick up and dopwn strum on the bottom three strings)
