Strumming Pattern Explained

Pattern 1 (Verse – first 3 lines):

uD D U U UD

Pattern 2 (Rest of verse & chorus):

uD D U U UDU

Start with a soft upstroke (uD) to create a light pickup feel.

Keep the double downstroke steady and rhythmic.

The “U U” should be light and controlled.

In the chorus, use slightly stronger strums to match the emotional lift.

Maintain consistent tempo — don’t rush the rhythm.

Teaching Notes (PRO Tips)

Keep your wrist loose — this song needs energy, not stiffness.

Focus on clean transitions between C - G - F.

The chorus should feel bigger — increase strumming intensity slightly.

Let the final chord in each line ring out for emphasis.

If F feels difficult, you can use the simplified F major (xx3211) version.
