Hey all,

I really wanna play elderly woman and it's a great song that's about at my level. I can play all the chords just fine but they just don't sound right.

I see it starts off with a D then switches to some G variation. What is the strumming pattern. Even if someone could line the lyrics up with the chords that might help me. GiventoWail couldn't help me much.

Right now my best guess for the strumming is:
D DUDD

see what I mean. if you don't understand anything I type here just ask.

Thanks for any help

    Well, actually, it's:

    D -> Cadd9 -> G -> Cadd9 -> G

    It's in 3/4 time. Strumming varies, but is generally:

    Down-Down-Up-Down

    With the beat, it goes:

    One, two-and-three

    Hope that helps.

    Open up your Vs. CD booklet. Find Elderly Woman in the book. The lyrics are printed and the guitar chords are written above the lyrics. That is how I've always played it. You just have to listen to it to get the rhythm.
