Tune your guitar to standard tuning: E A D G B E
Place a capo on the 2nd fret if you want to match the original key more closely
Use a fingerpicking pattern with a steady bass note on the lower strings
Play the main chord shapes:
G
D/F#
Em
C
For the verse, alternate between G and D/F# while keeping a flowing picking pattern
Move to Em and C for the next part of the progression
Keep the bass line moving smoothly between chord changes
Use open strings to let notes ring out
Strum lightly in the chorus if you want a fuller sound
Repeat the chord progression as needed through the song
Focus on clean transitions between chords
Keep a soft, steady rhythm throughout the song
