Capo 4
For the strumming use a simple base-strum down-up style. Listen to the song for what
sounds best.
To get it to sound more like the song, I do a hammer-on for the next note after the
base note. So for G chord I hammer on 2nd fret on A string with 1st finger. For
Dsus4/F# hammer on 2nd fret on G string with 2nd finger, etc. So you hammer on right
after plucking the base note and before the strum. Don't do this for D and Em, just
strum regular.

Em7 Dsus4/F#

G Dsus4/F# Em7 D Em
Blowing down the flame

And I know that I知 no king

Go ahead now, tell them all about it
