Strumming

Edit

Are these strumming patterns correct?

Note: there is much debate about whether the lyric in the chorus
is Regina or Latina, so sing which you prefer.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
    A                    E
She moves like she don't care
F#m
Smooth as silk
D
Cool as air
A        E               D   D
Oooh, it makes you wanna cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    A                 E
She doesn't know your name
         F#m                D
and your heart beats like a subway train
A        E               D   D
Oooh, it makes you wanna die

A million and one candle lights

     A                 E
I've seen this thing before
      F#m                  D
In my best friends and the boy next door
A         E               D    D
Fool for love and full of fire
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
      A                E
Won't come in from the rain
      F#m             D
She's oceans running down the drain
A       E          D    D
Blue as ice and desire

Oooh, don't you wanna take her home?
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
    A                    E
She walks like she don't care
F#m          D

the bridge is a little different, try this: Bridge: D E F#m Oooh don't you wanna' take her? D E F#m Wanna' make her all your own? It sounds much better. - cycleflier

+14

Interlude: D E F#m % B % F#m % B % D E
