Strumming

This basically easy rhythm version is mainly meant for newer singer/players so they can
 
get a hold on an easier song in this tuning and learn to play along with it. I'd recommend
 
that you don't use 'Hover' or UG's 'Highlighted' chord shapes! Use mainly the 'Chord Index'
 
below but play it whatever way works best for you when using the +'s and -'s.
