Strumming
There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
The other 2 tabs were sort of right... but they were using wrong chords, and the timing
all weird on them, but to me this sounds 100% perfect
Chords Used (different variations) I'm also not 100% sure what some of the chords are
here they are
The progression of chords in the chorus is super-fast and he changes the chord with
word...trust me, this is accurate, just learn the strumming.

Buying love for cash

Okay, the 2nd to last chord above the word "can" should be a G and not a C...
