Hi Stonemaybe,
Is this what you had in mind?
Here's a little chord progression I was playing around with last night.
The tempo is Andante -
at a walking pace.
Read the chords from left to right, and strum three beats per bar. Once you get to grips with the chord changes you should find the groove.
INTRO:
This plays off the E and A7.
You don't need to move the index finger until you play the A7.
Don't use the index finger on the second line. Use the ring finger and put the pinky to work - there's a good reason for this!
There's no hard and fast rules to how many times you play the intro. Let the groove decide.
OUTRO:
The song finishes with one beat for the last E chord.
The last three chords at the bottom of the page are optional as the Cmaj b11/add D can be a little tricky. But slowing down to the finish gives a little bit of time to grab the chord.
As with the intro, let the groove tell you how to wind down to the finish.
There's no middle section to the song. That's for you to find for yourself!
BTW, to help with strumming a tambourine is very useful. Or you could put some rice or dried lentils in an empty plastic container. It's all about finding the right rythm <sp?> for the tune.
