Strumming

There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
Note: in my opinion this song is very interesting by his rhythm and strumming. Be sure to check BJM live
performanses of that song, espicially Anton's part of it. Mostly in videos its always Anton on camera as a
main character, so just check how he uses his right hand for that song!
Also, its very important, after every loop of this three chords (Em - C - G) you should play G chord on 5th
fret (dont forget you should also have a capo on first fret for that song!). So your loop for that song is
always this progression: Em - C - G - G chord on 5th fret. I will not dissplay that last G chord at this
guide, but just keep that in mind.
 
[Intro]
Em C G x12
 
[Verse]
Em           C          G
If you would have stayed
   Em              C                G
Then I would write this song for you
    Em           C            G
But as it is I am sad and blue
     Em        C         G
Because you've gone away
    Em        C            G
There's not much left to say
      Em           C                   G
Cause there's nothing left for you to do
      Em          C                G
There's nothing left for me to prove
     Em        C        G
Because you've gone away
 
[Solo]
A A7 C A A4 C
Em C G x4
 
[Verse]
    Em       C         G
And if I close my eyes
      Em        C            G
I always get to see your smile
      Em          C                  G
The kind of smile that drives me wild
   Em       C     G
It never goes away
 
[Solo]
A A7 C A A4 C
Em C G x4
 
[Verse]
             Em
I have no home
 
C Em C
 
 Em   C      G
In this world
 
[Solo]
Em C G x12
 
[Verse]
              Em
I've got no home
 
C Em C
            Em
In this world
            Em
In this world... oh yeah

u could also, as a variation on the c, do a "C/G" chord.
