ok the song heart of gold...
I keep gettin my strummin wrong for the C chord to the d chord... they are both 3 strums right.. well when i sing it it always doesnt go with the words...
what i mean is by when u sing: "i want to live(c chord)" then u go straight to d?
when u sing "I(D) want to give(G)... i cant do 3 strums in rhymn.. maybe its just me but its been bothering me..

..any tips?
cheers

Mike

Welcome to the madhouse for the musically insane.

Are you strumming Em7 C (one measure) then D G (one measure)?

I wan- na give,
(Em) Down and Down/Up (C) Down and Down/Up

I've been a min- er for a
