How to play it
You need 4 chords: D, G, Bm and A. The change you'll make most is D to G, so practice switching between those two slowly before playing along.
Each box is one bar of 4/4 time. Strum the chord on the beat, and change when the next box starts. A slash means keep playing the same chord.
