Strumming

Edit

Are these strumming patterns correct?

Home – Performed by Phillip Phillips on American Idol (written by Greg Holden)
Key of C
Time Signature – 2/2
BPM – 121
 
Note: These are the guitar chords, the bass notes are a little different in the walk
down at the end of the verse.  For example, the line "make this place your home" he walks
down the notes --> F , E , D , C.  If you are picking rather than strumming, be aware of this.

[Verse]
C      F             C     F
Hold on to me as we go
     C         F                C       F
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
              Am  F                 C         F
Although this wave is stringing us along
     C    G/B    Am  G  Am
Just know you're not alone
               F  C/E     G    G    C
Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home
 
 
[Chorus]
C         F               C          F
Settle down it will all be clear
C                         F                          C         F
Don't pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear
Am                         F
Trouble it might drag you down
           C                      G
If you get lost you can always be found
     C    G/B    Am  G  Am
Just know you're not alone
               F  C/E     G    G    C
Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home
 
 
[Refrain]
F  C   Am  G   F  C  G
ohhh   ohhhh   ohhhh        x3
 
 
[Chorus]

Settle down it will all be clear
C                        F                          C         F
Don't pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear
Am                       F
Trouble it might drag you down
           C                      G
If you get lost you can always be found
         C  G/B  Am  G  Am
Just know you're not alone

its an awesome tab like 100% accurate lol mine sux haha failed that i was just bored and obbsessed but urs is really good ^.^

The second chord definatley sounds like an Fsus2, sometimes when he plays it live he does an F but his guitar player still does an Fsus2 and in the studio recording it's Fsus2. Nip Picky i know but just wanted to say :) Also for the C/E i would play it like X X 2 0 1 0 because to do that lick and run smooth it'd be best not to change octives There is also a G/D over the word "place" And The G/B should be a C/B All very nip-picky but i just wanted to help out :) Jake's tab (Ver. 3) looks like it's almost perfect or at least close to it.

Thanks Yakamak, I appreciate the feedback. I agree there is a D bass note on the word "place" but if you play a G/D on the piano it sounds awful so I changed it to just a G. It all depends on the instrument you are playing, I tried to make this chord chart for piano/guitar and bass, so people need to just take the main chords and decide how that translates to their instrument. Thanks again for the feedback!
