Chords Used

Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 Cadd9 D

Strumming Pattern

D — D U — U D U

Down on beat 1, down-up on beat 2, up-down-up on beats 3–4. Keep your strumming hand moving in steady eighth notes; mute the strings on the gaps rather than stopping the motion.

Intro

| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |

Four bars of the main two-chord loop, twice through. This is the signature riff — you can also fingerpick it instead of strumming.

Verse

| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |
| Em7    G    | Dsus4    A7sus4 |

Same progression as the intro — eight bars total per verse. Hold each chord for two beats.

Pre-Chorus

| Cadd9    Dsus4    | Em7         |
| Cadd9    Dsus4    | Em7         |
| Cadd9    Dsus4    | G    Dsus4  | Em7 |
| Dsus4    A7sus4   |

The pre-chorus shifts the gravity — Cadd9 → Dsus4 → Em7 builds tension. Land softly on A7sus4 at the end; it sets up the chorus.

Chorus

| Cadd9    Em7    | G          Em7   |
| Cadd9    Em7    | G          Em7   |
| Cadd9    Em7    | G          Em7   |
| Cadd9    Em7    | G    Dsus4 | A7sus4 |

The Em7 acts as a pivot between every chord — keep your ring and pinky planted on the B and high E strings (3rd fret) through the whole section so only your index and middle fingers move.

Outro

| Cadd9    Em7    | G          Em7   |
| Cadd9    Em7    | G          Em7   |
| Em7             |

Repeats the chorus progression and resolves on Em7. Let the last chord ring out.
