Chorus:
G
Do you remember when we used to sing
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C
La dee dah.
*The *C's after the chorus and after the solo are a staccato type style played 7x
*When playing the G's and Am's you can add a little walk down to the C and F chords. Like so:
G C Am FE|--3--3--1--0-----0--|-------------------0---------1--|B|--0-----------3--1--|--1--3--1--0--1-------1------1--|G|--0--------------0--|--2----------------------2---2--|D|--0--------------2--|--2-------------2------------3--|A|--2--------------3--|--0--------------------------3--|E|--3-----------------|-----------------------------1--|
This is an optional F walk down to the G, after you've walked down from the Am to the F.
I'm not entirely sure if he does this, I couldn't make it out.
You can either play it or just strum the F chord.
|----1--------------------3--||----1--------1-----------0--||----2-----------2--------0--||----3-----3--------------0--||----3--3-----------3--2--2--||----1--------------------3--|
I tabbed this out because I'm playing this for a concert coming up.
I didn't see any tabs of this version on here, so I figured I'd share it with you guys.
Hope you enjoy it. Please make any comments or suggestions you have if I messed up on something.
Your feedback would be awesome.
