Strum verse: down up down up down down down down
*Strum verse: down up down up down down down down
(A string) 5 5 3
[you can use the *strum to imitate the mandolin
playing in the background. on the down strokes
hold the A-string 5th fret twice, then lift it
off for the 3rd down stroke and play whatever
chord is being held down, then on the last down
stroke do the same as the first two, only
pressing the 3rd fret A-string. If that didn't
make sense then just play the chord as it is
shown, and add the 5th and 3rd fret A-string
while still playing and holding the chord.]

About this song: Fifteen
According to Songfacts, Fifteen is about Taylor Swift's best friend Abigail. Swift told The Los Angeles Times that for most of their time in high school, the two friends thought of themselves as ugly ducklings. She explained: "We kind of came to the conclusion in ninth grade that we were never going to be popular, so we should just stick together and have fun and not take ourselves too seriously.
