Chords
C · G · Am · F

Bob Marley’s reggae classic uses the same four chords as Let It Be but with a completely different feel. The reggae strum makes it unique.

Reggae Strum (4/4 Time)
1234

Tip: The reggae strum accents the offbeats. Mute on beats 1 and 3, strum on the “and” of each beat. It feels backwards at first but becomes natural.

In the government yard in Trenchtown.
