Video lesson
Hereβs my lesson, including a play-through with chords and tabs overlaid. Please refer to this when using everything further down this page β everything I play here, I explain below.
No PDF chord sheet exists for this lesson
As of now, there's no printable PDF to accompany this video lesson. If you'd like to request that I make one, shoot me an email and please let me know - I am always adding back catalog lessons to my PDF library.
Here's a list of the 200+ lessons I have made PDFs for.
Use a capo!
Unless you want to play it in E-flat, which I donβt, then add a capo on the 3rd fret. Then you use chords in the family of C (much easier) and be able to play along with the soundtrack, or my lesson.

First, Iβll play this more subdued version. That is, I only play 2-3 strings at a time and keep things kinda chill. This is a good way to start if you want to build things up.

Then, Iβll repeat what I did above but wonβt hold back with the intensity (i.e., Iβll actually build it up to a peak). Note how for the F and G Iβll play the lower bass notes. This is harder to do and not required.

Lyrics w/ chords
Please note, this skimps over the longer instrumental part you hear in the soundtrack version. Below, Iβm matching to what I play in my video lessonβs play-through. Apologies for it being somewhat limited, but I hope it gets you off the ground and running with things.
