Tuning: Standard EBGDAE Difficulty: Intermediate "Lonely People" - America arr. for one acoustic guitar BASIC CHORDS USED G Em7 Bm C D Am Em7(in BRIDGE) |------| |------| |------| |----0-| |------| |----0-| |------| |-0----| |-00---| |-0---0| |--0---| |---0-0| |--00--| |-0----| |0---00| |----0-| |----0-| |-0----| |----0-| |------| |----0-| |--00--| As far as strumming goes, you essentially play the lower half of each chord followed by picking the top half of the chord. Listen to the recording and you'll hear what I mean. Doing so creates a sort of rythym that continues throughout the song. I tried tabbing the strumming out to help, along with the bass fills, but really you can do just fine playing only the chords.
