The strumming pattern is quite folk basic, in the song, the guitarist keeps randomly
hammering the G chord on the E and A string.
Verse: (Keep randomly hammering those bass notes)
[G] [G]
e--3-------------3---------3---| B--3-------------3---------3---| G--0-------------0---------0---| D--0-------------0---------0---| A--2---0h2-0h2-3-2--0h2----2---| E--3-------------3-----0h3-3---|

Faster than the last

Cause I'm alone
You got the key to our safe
Keep it secret for our sake
Or I'm gone
While I'm gone
[C] [G]
e--0-------------3-----------| B--1-------------3-----------| G--0-------------0-----------| D--2--0h2-0h2----0-----------| A--3-------------2--0h2------| E--0-------------3-----0h3---|
You could hide it in your pillow
Or in an old doll's head
Underneath a tree somewhere
[A] [D]
e--0-------------2---| B--2-------------3---| G--2-------------2---| D--2---0h2 0h2---0---| A--0-------------x---| E--0-------------x---|
Or just swallow it instead
Pre-Chorus:
[D] [C] [G]
e--3--2--0--2--0--3---| B--3--3--3--3--1--3---| G--2--2--2--2--0--0---| D--0--0--0--0--2--0---| A--x--x--x--x--3--2---| E--x--x--x--x--0--3---|
Cause Lord you know I?ve tried
Have I n[D]ot?
And a[C]ll these new friends stare and re[G]mind me
Of w[C]hat I haven't g[G]ot
[G] [C] [G] [C]
THen at some point in the song, this goes in:
[G]
e--x--x--3---| B--x--x--3---| G--x--x--4---| D--x--x--5---| A--x--x--5---| E--x--x--3---|
And that's pretty much the whole pattern for the rhytmic guitar of the song.
Here are the chords for the whole song:
Se[G]ptember came real fast
Fa[G]ster than the last
Ar[G]e you alo[C]ne?
Ca[C]use I'm a[G]lone
You got the key to our safe
Keep it secret for our sake
Or I'm gone
While I'm gone
You c[C]ould hide it in your pi[G]llow
O[C]r in an old doll's h[G]ead
Un[C]derneath a tree som[G]ewhere
Or just swal[A]low it ins[D]tead
Ca[D]use Lord you know I've tr[C]ied[G]
Have I n[D]ot?
And all these ne[C]w friends stare and remind [G]me
Of wh[C]at I haven't g[G]ot
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Fifty thousand pounds
Stashed under the ground
I'll take you out
Now I can take you out
Secrets in the walls
Left there from before
They moved out
Why don't you come round?
And see my new reflection
In my brand new trophy room
We'll buy a ticket out of here
Maybe Rio de Janerio
Cause Lord you know I've tried
Have I not?
And all these new friends stare and remind me
Of what I haven't got
A brand new life in the sun
We'll go from beach to beach
It's just begun
It's just begun
What I thought was the start became the end
It turns out you just want to be my friend
You turn to me and say
"This was a nice holiday" (Nooooo)
And you can see my new reflection
As it crumbles to the floor
Another drink, oh, another chat
I've got friends in every port
C[D]ause Lord you know I've tr[C]ie[G]d
Have I n[D]ot?
And all these new [C]friends stare and remind m[G]e
O[C]h, but they do in[C/B]spire me
Oh, wi[G]ll anybody take me ho[C]me tonigh[G]t?
