Cadd9 G D You come along too yeah, Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D Say, take a look ______________________________________ Cadd9 G/B Come along too Come along right prog Am G A7 D Come a long way, Sing it tonight. Please note I have denoted the A7 and D7 progressions as A7(prog) D7(prog)in order to summarize the notation and simplify the reading. A string of 'A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A (which is what it is) only makes it more confusing. The distinctive strumming on the first beats of signature bars (e.g. A7 D) is up on &3, down on 4, up on &2, down on 2 (in 4/4). It then reverts to down on the 1 and 2 beats. There is some variation, but not on the signature bars (intro, verse etc.).
