I am glad I finally got around to learning this song, after about 4 or 5 practice sessions I realized this is easier than I thought, the instruction is spot on. Thanks James, --(its hard to believe this song will be 50 yrs old in 2025 !)
I/ve watched upwards of 8-10 instructional videos on this song, some by very well-known UA-cam guitar instructors/players. Most merely mention the strumming pattern(s). Only one other stressed the importance of timing. James' took it to another level with a very clear step-by-step explanation. Superb!
Okay, lyrics are easy to memorize. why do I have serious issues memorizing the chord progression? It keeps switching on the verse, it's not like a standard 4/4 rock song and the timing is freaking weird. Or am I just dumb?
Here to say you're not dumb but could use a little memory trick to make your fingers do the right thing at the right time. Fingers have memory too, it takes a lot of practice and time. Practice the sections separately and repeatedly.
Great lesson and SO helpful on the strumming pattern. I’m learning ukulele so the chord shapes are different but I can still follow along for the strumming and play the uke version of the chords.

This is amazing. Can I play Cmaj7 instead of C in the verse chords ?
Hey Hussein, glad it was helpful. Yes definitely you can do that.
