Five for Fighting - Chances
This is the very simple way that the lead singer of Five for Fighting plays it when
the acoustic version. He uses slight muting of the low E string throughout the song, but it
really make a difference if you're playing along with the song. If you can't figure out
strumming pattern, watch this YouTube video to see how he does it -
