Strumming
There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
Song is in the key of A Major / F# minor,
hard to tell which is actually the root as the bass plays along with the guitar and there's never a resolution
The lack of resolution sits well with the subject matter
a date gone wrong and the growing distrust between the "lovers" as the song continues.
all chords played as bar chords above the 12th frett
F#m: ( 14 16 16 14 14 14 )
| o - - o o o | 14
| - - - - - - |
| - o o - - - |
A: ( x 12 14 14 14 12 )
| x o - - - o | 12
| - - - - - - |
| - - o o o - |
This is a version with all the chords over the lyrics.
Basically it's just alternating between F#m and A . Have fun!
