hello mate
i'll try to give you some suggestions. The song has the following structure
intro
verse
intro
verse
chorus
verse
chours x 2
bridge
solo
chorus x 2
intro
the intro is played like this (each slash divides a measure from another one)
F/dm/F/dm/Am/Dm-Am/G*
* = remember that the last measure is 2/4 so it lasts 2 beats instead of 4
verse:
C/Dm/C/Dm-Am/G*
C/Dm/C/Dm-Am/G
chorus
C-G/Dm-G/C-G/Dm-G/am-F/G
bridge
am/g/am/g/C/dm/e7/E7
solo
f-g/em-am/f-g/am/f-g/em-am/dm/E
also remember that after the first chorus before starting the second verse the guitar plays 2 measures of C chord
How to play it? well the intro is played by solo guitar only and the same goes for the first verse. If you play it alone a good idea could be to play the chords arpeggiating them untile first chorus then start to strum, the end of the verse is arpeggiated (the dm-am/G part) by the way
a basic strumming pattern for a 4/4 measure could be the following one
dd ddu dd ddu
even if Rudolf tends to play something like
d ud ud ududu
hope it helps
cheers
Matteo
