Katy Perry - International Smile chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
Hi there!  This was a request over at Live Love Guitar and
I actually had it mostly tabbed from when the album came out,
but that bridge part was driving me nuts so I had put it off
and forgot about it.  Well, it's done now and it sounds good :)


**IMPORTANT NOTES**
-The intro timing is tough. Just follow the strumming as indicated.

-All the verses are 2 BEATS PER CHORD.  It's easy to get the timing
once you get going (the chorus is different but it's easy to stay
on beat, just play along with the song!)

-THE BRIDGE: One strum per chord, might take a couple tries to get
the timing.  Again- PLAY ALONG WITH THE SONG!

-For the last part of the bridge, to keep the timing, I put the lyrics
for the chorus in there and it really helps having it that way.
There's no singing except for that last line indicated with '**'.
Hope it makes sense!

*I went back and forth with no capo or capo on 5 and I thought the
transitioning between chords was easier with capo on 5 (I keep the
strumming on the EADGB strings avoiding the high e.) Transpose up 5
times to remove the capo if you want :)
