Katy Perry “International Smile” Guitar Chords

Katy Perry  "International Smile"  Guitar Chords

   
Hi there!  This was a request 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.)
