# essentially your index finger and ring finger slide as a unit up and down
Cuz there's no drink
or drug i've tried
to rid the curse
of these lover's eyes
cuz i feel numb
beneath your tongue
your strength just makes
me feel less strong
# then a chorus again
# these various components are all you need to know to piece together the rest of the song. Happy strumming!

Goood job bro. Also I always thought the lyric was "shake my ass to the wind" but now I know it's "ash"! Very fine.
