The song is so easy. It's very easy on the piano too. It doesn't sound full unless he has clune on the drums. He has only been known to play it on piano, too. The way he plays the chords, he hits the lower notes, and immediately afterwards, he holds the lower while hitting the higher notes of the chord to get a dum-DUM. That's it. It's so easy. To make it sound right on guitar, just make the chords, and hit the bass strings first, then quickly strum the rest. It is very easy.

I was fortunate enough to see David play prior to his quick ascent to height of his popularity in the States. Great show featuring a cover of All the Love.

Peace,
