Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

Here is how she played it on her live stream video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2obMo7y-rvA
 
This is different to the recorded version as it is in a different key.
 
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
 
 
Play chords as follows:
 
  C   G7?    Amsus   Fsus2
 
e|--0--0----0----0----|
B|--1--1----1----1----|
G|--0--0----0----2----|
D|--2--0----2----3----|
A|--3--2----0----x----|
E|--0--3----0----x----|
 
 
I just wrote the chords out with the basic name so play G7 where it sayd G and
Fsus2 where it says F
 
Also, sometimes she plays it as a normal Am and sometimes Am sus. Just do whatever
sounds best to you.
 
Intro-
C G Am F x2
 
 
C                       G
 Put your lips close to mine
   Am                 F
As long as they don't touch
C                    G
 Out of focus eye to eye
         Am           F
Till the gravity's too much
C                         G
 And I'll do anything you say
       Am                   F
If you say it with your hands
C                          G
 And I'd be smart to walk away 
           Am         F
But you're quick sand
 
 
C             G           Am
 This slope is treacherous
            F        C
This path is reckless
             G           Am
This slope is treacherous
         F -once
And I I I, like it
 
 
C
 
                         G
I can't decide if it's a choice
Am             F
Getting swept away
C                          G
I hear the sound of my own voice
Am           F
Asking you to stay
C                           G
 And all we are is skin and bone 
Am                 F
Trained to get along
C                       G
 Forever going with the flow 
           Am       F
But you're friction
 
 
 
C             G           Am
 This slope is treacherous
            F        C
This path is reckless
             G           Am
This slope is treacherous
     F
I I I, like it
 
 
 
G              Am                          F
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
            C                        G
And I will, get you a, get you alone
              Am                F
Your name has echoed through my mind
           C                                      G
And I just think you should, think you should know
             Am                F
That nothing safe is worth the drive and
       C                          G
I will follow you, follow you home
     Am                         F
I'll follow you, follow you home
 
 
 
C           G          Am
 This hope is treacherous
              F           C
This day dream is dangerous
            G          Am
This hope is treacherous
     F
I I I , I I I, I I I
 
 
G              Am                          F
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
            C                           G
And I will, get you I'll, get you alone
              Am                F
Your name has echoed through my mind
           C                                      G
And I just think you should, think you should know
             Am                F
That nothing safe is worth the drive and
       C                          G
I will follow you, follow you home
     Am                         F
I'll follow you, follow you home
     C                               G
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home
     Am                              F
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home
 
 
C             G           Am
 This slope is Treacherous
         F -once
And I I I, like it

Thank you very very much, I just love it! By the way, she uses her own versions of chords in most of her songs... I've been re-watching the video link you sent, she seems to mute the 6th string (her thumb doesn't move at all...) throughout the whole song. I've noticed her C is |x32010|, G is |300010|, Am is |x00210| and F is |x03210|. I'm not sure if the F chord is correct, 'cause her fingers are blocking -_-... One more thing, when she plays G, she quickly changes from |320010| to |300010| preparing for Am. Not sure if she's playing G |320010| at all...

hi, regarding the chords given: C is obviously right. I would call your "G7" C/G. Maybe even better but longer would be Gadd4. G7 is if your pinky is on the first fret of the high E string. That results in you playing a F on that string instead of a regular G -> therefore G7. The next chord is Am7/E and then you have a Fmaj7.
