Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Verse]
Gm
  I lost myself on a cool damp night
Eb
  Gave myself in that misty light
    D7               Am7-5
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7            Gm
Under a lilac tree
Gm
  I made wine from the lilac tree
Eb
  Put my heart in its recipe
Am7-5
  It makes me see what I want to see...
    D7                Gm
And be what I want to be
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fdim7                      C
  When I think more than I want to think
Cm                       Gm
Do things I never should do
  Fdim7                   C
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Cm                         G5    Dsus4 D
Because it brings me back you...
 
[Chorus]
G     G/F
 
G      G/F       C/E      D7                G   G/F
Lilac wine....is sweet and heady, like my love
C/E        Dm   G  C/E       Dm  G              C/E
    Lilac wine     I feel unsteady,     like my love
Eb                             D7
  Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
                             Am7     D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
 
G       G/F        C/E       D                  G   G/F
  Lilac wine....is sweet and heady, where's my love
C/E        Dm   G   C/E      Dm  G                C
   Lilac wine     I feel unsteady,     where's my love
Eb                                      D7
  Listen to me... why is everything so hazy
                                    Am7  D7
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy dear?
 
G       G/F      C/E    D7      D6        G   G/F
  Lilac wine   I feel unready   for   my love
                    Am7      D7                  G
Fe-----el        unready     Fo----or   my    lo-----ove

Because the chords are perfect ;)

To anyone who butchers the high notes as bad as I: tune to drop D and transpose down two steps so it starts on Fm, that way you can still get the rich decending bass. Fm: 3-3-3-1-1-1 F: 3-x-3-2-1-1 F/D#: 1-x-3-2-1-1 B#/A: 0-1-3-3-3-1 Gm: 5-5-5-3-3-3 Now I'm only unpleasant to listen to rather than actively disturbing.

Thanks for the great music tab I am trying to do the john legend, john mayer version on piano, this really helped, starts in F#m https://dai.ly/x31j6b4
