Hopefully this provides a nice basis for solo performances of this song. The song itself starts on Fmaj7/A,
not Am.
Finger-picking the Verse and Pre-Choruses sounds great (16th notes), then strumming the choruses (try
strumming in 8th notes, down down down down up).
The Fmaj7/A is played for a full measure, while the Am (and C) and G chords are played for half measures
respectively. Strumming in 8th notes, that would come out to something along the lines of:
Fmaj7/A - down down down down up down down down down up;
Am - down down down down up;
G - down down down down up.
Also, listen for how the end of each lyrical line leads into the Fmaj7/A chord of the next line during
the Verses and the Choruses (but not the Pre-Choruses).
The actual bridge is a bit different, but the normal chord progression works fine too.
