I’ve been searching the internet long and hard to find out what chord changes are at the end of the chorus to no avail. Thanks to your video, I have found that it’s not really a chord change per se, but a manipulation of the D chord. That alone is enough to earn my like. Now, if I can just perfect that riff…
Good leasson mate n now your singing was good thanks mate.! BTW LOVE THIS SONG
