Before I Even Had You
Dave Mcpherson
You can listen to the track on youtube at the moment, and make sure you listen for when 
hits the root note
next to the chord you are about to play, so it like leads into it.
Also listen out for any harmonic strums on the 5th and 7th fret.
Any questions just comment, and don't forget to rate :)
