All-american Girl

so this is my first chord tab . this is how i play it , it seems to work and a pretty good crowd pleaser . i did do this by ear , so feel free to correct me if you actually know the proper chords . the strumming pattern i use changes throughout the song . for the into i use half a bar of music ( 2 out of the 4 beats ) per chord ( G - dd D - uu , Em7 - uu D - uuudu - with a half down strum to sometimes change chords ) and then during the Verse i change to 1 chord per bar of music ( ddu udu udu ) . the Chorus is again a little different but you will see that in the write up .
