The song is played by playing the root note (lowest note)
of the chord, then strumming, then playing the open string
next to the lowest string (even though its fretteted normally
in the chord), and strumming again. The pattern repeats itself.
Here's an example:
A
e |------0-------0---------------------------------------|
B |------2-------2---------------------------------------|
G |------2-------2---------------------------------------|
D |------2---0---2---------------------------------------|
A |--0---0-------0---------------------------------------|
E |------------------------------------------------------|
Since some people find it easier to just do a hammer on, since you
take the 1st finger off for picking the open string, then back on
for the chord. It's optional if you like.
Like this:
A
e |------0---------0-------------------------------------|
B |------2---------2-------------------------------------|
G |------2---------2-------------------------------------|
D |------2---0h2---2-------------------------------------|
A |--0---0---------0-------------------------------------|
E |------------------------------------------------------|
Then for the E chord the strumming (without the hammer on) goes like this:
E
e |------0-------0---------------------------------------|
B |------0-------0---------------------------------------|
G |------1-------1---------------------------------------|
D |------2-------2---------------------------------------|
A |------2---0---2---------------------------------------|
E |--0---0-------0---------------------------------------|
E minor goes the same way, except its Em, so the 1st fret isnt played.
Here's the lyrics/chords:
A
Two lovers forbidden from one another
A E
A war divides their people
E A
And a mountain divides them apart
Em C#m
Built a path to be together
"And I forget the next couple of lines but then it goes"
A*
Secret tunnel
D*
Secret tunnel
D*
Through the mountain
E A*
Secret secret secret secret TUNNEL! ....yeah.
The C#m doesnt get any special picking, just a short
strum. And all the chords from thenceforth are strumming.
Later on, he remembers the rest of the song (I have not
clue how its supposed to fit in haha), its very simple
it goes like this:
Fm
And die..........
