- Reading the Song Charts - a closer look at reading the song charts on this site
- Chord Transposer - a better understanding of how it works
- Easier version without a key change - Key of D Major
Arrangement Details:
- Song Keys: A Major with a key change to Bb Major
- Key Signature: A Major - 3 sharps (F#, C#, G#)
- Key Signature: Bb Major - 2 flats (Bb, Eb)
- Time Signature: 4/4 — Four quarter-note beats per measure
- Tempo: Moderate Rock
- Metronome: ♩ = 140
- Voice Range: B3 - B4
- This version may be a little out of reach for beginners as there are some pretty testing chords in this arrangement.
- Without the key change, the song is pretty easy, and I urge beginners to practice all the chords before the key change. If you are not playing along with the video, you can continue using these chords without a key change, as verses 4 & 5 are repeat verses.
- Beginners can also use the Transposer to find a comfortable Key, the easiest being C Major and G major (without key changes).
- ||: :|| means that anything between the 2 colons (:) is to be repeated once. Therefore, the 4 bars of Intro after the first bar of Drums is repeated once - 8 bars in total... just follow the singing if you are unsure.
- (Rock) at the end of verse 3 actually belongs on the first beat of the next bar where the backing vocals come in. This is good to know if you are unsure of the timing.
