There are some tricky sections to get to grips with here. The verses in particular have a few oddities that I hadn’t even noticed before trying to play the song.
Intro: A great little riff in the intro. Well worth learning even if you’re not attempting the whole song.
Verse: This is where you’ll find the oddities. In most of the verse, the Am7 chord lasts two bars. But in the opening verse, the first Am7 chord lasts only one bar.
The second verse (bar 52) is even stranger. The first Am7 is just one bar. But the following F is extended to two bars. Then the second Am7 is also shortened to one bar.
Chorus: The chorus is much more regular. Even so, the second set of “Is this love?”s is slightly different to the first.
Bridge: Nothing too challenging here. Just be sure to keep the strummed Dm chords tight rather than letting them ring out.
