My version of how the chord chart of this song should go. It feels 6/8 to me, with other information recorded to follow the pattern of the piece as completely as possible. Focus on the accents of the 6/8 feel of the song, keeping in mind the low level dynamics at the beginning. Add in the strum as you feel the song requires it, according to the dynamic level of that section. Keep in mind that 200 bpm in 6/8 is actually more like 100 bpm in 4/4 because you will be playing 200 1/8 notes a minute instead of 100 1/4 notes. Use your ears and listen to the variation - adjust according to feel and flow.Was this info helpful?

If you are interested - here is a quick video of playing the song in 6-8 timing.  There is a time signature
shift at the end of the third line of each verse before continuing with the next part, which is
why you will feel that jump.
 
I don't pretend to be singing this song perfect - I am only doing a quick demo of part of the song for

[Verse 1]
               Am                         C
Just like the seed, I don't know where to go
                 Em
Through dirt and shadow, I grow
              Dm
I'm reaching light through the struggle
Am                                  C
Just like the seed, I'm chasing the wonder
            Em            Dm
I unravel myself, all in slow-ow motion
 
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Mmmm-m-mmm-m-mm (x7)
 
[Chorus]
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no
               Am/C
You cannot eat money, oh no
                       Dsus2
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no
               Am/C

You cannot eat money, oh no, oh no
 
[Verse 2]
          Am                     C
Suffocate me, so my tears can be rain
                 Em
I will water the ground where I stand
                   Dm
So the flowers can grow back again
        Am
'Cause just like the seed
                    C
Everything wants to live
                   Em
We are burning our fingers
                    Dm
But we learn and forgive ah

When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no
               Am/C
You cannot eat money, oh no
                       Dsus2
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
               Am
You cannot eat money, oh no, oh no
