Tip: The “na na na” outro is where the magic happens. Build your strumming intensity gradually and let the energy keep rising until the very end.

How to play

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Learn the four chords

You need G, D, C, and Em. The verse uses just G-D-D-G, the bridge adds C and Em.

2

Master the verse

The verse pattern is: G-D-D-G. Each chord gets a full bar. The rhythm is relaxed and steady.

3

Learn the bridge

The bridge (“And anytime you feel the pain”) uses G-C-D-G. This section builds energy leading to the chorus.

4

Build the outro

The famous “na na na na-na-na-na” uses G-C-D-G on repeat. Start gentle and build, build, build until the end.
