YOU CAN PLAY ALONG WITH THE VIDEOS IN THE SAME KEY - but the instrumental in the middle has been shortened for the group jam!

To begin the song, the strum I use is:
/ [Am] down-down_up-down-up / [D]  down-down_up-down-up /.

Then take a close look at the section where I've indicated the start of a different strum that continues all through the next verse. The strum pattern stretches over two bars in a syncopated style:  
/ down_up-down-down /_up-down-down / until you reach the / [A] all / at which time you change back to the original strum until you see the next arrows, etc.

A tricky song for timing, singing notes, and overlapping singing parts - but heck... it's definitely worth a few attempts because what better place to sing a two part song then when we're all together at BUG! And if you play along with the song recording a few times before the BUG Jam, you'll get the knack of the strums!
