maybe i'd be outside 
	D      		G
as you passed on your bike 
	D  Bm F#m A
would i know? 

Bm		G
in a wide sea of eyes

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
