[notes]

Because this song is in 9/8, it's essential to get a feel for strumming

nine beats per measure, or three groups of three beats. The natural

inclination may be to feel the beat as 6/8 because it's a more familiar

meter. Resist this temptation! Listen to the intro again and feel the

three main downbeats in the measure rather than all nine beats. Once you

get a feel for strumming this way, try playing the verse.

(3), (6), (9) indicate how many beats to play each chord. I've tried to

divided the lines into nine-beat measures. The strumming and chord

changes

get more difficult during the last section; try playing along with the

record a few times if my notation doesn't make sense to you. You'll get

it.

chords:

Fmaj7 = x33210

G* = 320030

F and Ab should be the only barre chords.
