well ive just started to realise the best thing for me is , use the the tab with lyrics wrote underneath . like say this
Gm
Remember when you were young,
Gb Bb
You shone like the sun.
Eb Eb/D Cm Cm/Bb F
Shine on you crazy diamond.
start with any patteren , say a basic 1,2,3,4, but make sure to land the chord change where it wants to be ,,
so = -1,2,3,4, on Gm --- the 1,2,3,on Gb then 4 on the Bb
what you will eventually find is that , you will feel what the rhythm should be ,
i am still working on songs that a know ,inside out & back to front ,this helps aswell .
you are not concentrating so much on the words , i find , hope this little bit helps
