Hi, this is my first online tab, so I've ran into a bit of a problem tellingyou guys how to strum in the right rhythm. For those of you who can figure itout by listening (thumbs-up), for the rest of you I'll try to explain it.he repeat this constant beat 4 times within one stroke.----------3---x-- Each hit is 1/16, and is a constant up/down rhythm in ----------3---x-- your right hand. Up-strums being from the high e and ---4------4---x-- upwards, and down-strums being from the low E and ---5------5---x-- downwards. Up-strums: < Down-strums: > ---5------5---x-- There's no doubt that you'll get the best effect if ---3------3---x-- you can just keep a constant up/down thing going in> > < your right hand, and the just avoid strumming on thefirst up-strum, so that the first down-strum seems longer. All in all try toget that country-swing rhythm.G C F#(#5)---3---- ---3--- ---x--- ---3---- ---5--- ---x--- ---4---- ---5--- ---x--- ---5---- ---5--- ---4--- ---5---- ---3--- ---5--- ---3---- ---X--- ---2---G C GIf I was a flower growing wild and freeG F#(5#) GAll I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.G C GAnd if I was a tree growing tall and greenG F#(5#)GAll I'd want is you to shade me and be my leavesIf I was a flower growing wild and freeAll I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.And if I was a tree growing tall and greenAll I'd want is you to shade me and be my leavesAll I want is you, will you be my brideTake me by the hand and stand by my sideAll I want is you, will you stay with me?Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.If you were a river in the mountains tall,The rumble of your water would be my call.If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snowJust as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.All I want is you, will you be my brideTake me by the hand and stand by my sideAll I want is you, will you stay with me?Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.If you were a wink, I'd be a nodIf you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rugAnd if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hugAll I want is you, will you be my brideTake me by the hand and stand by my sideAll I want is you, will you stay with me?Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.- here's a minor deviationG C GIf you were the wood, I'd be the fire.G F#(53) GIf you were the love, I'd be the desire.G C GIf you were a castle, I'd be your moat,G(strum once and let ring)F#(5#) GAnd if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.All I want is you, will you be my brideTake me by the hand and stand by my sideAll I want is you, will you stay with me?Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
