# If you want it to sound proper, strum similarly to the piano in the original, and # slide up on every fourth beat (not fourth strum). For those who need exact # instruction, this is how it should look when you slide:
#
# Cm chordCm: slide up one fret so you bar 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings at second fret
# Fm chordFm: slide so fingers on 2nd and 4th strings are completely off, and holding second # fret 4th string
# G chordG:Only slide 1st and 2nd string finders up to the first fret
# Dm chordDm: Holding 1st and 2nd string first fret
# Gm chordGm: no longer holding 1st string, 2nd string second fret, 3rd string first fret
# A chordA: It sounds funny to slide so I don't, but if you disagree4th string first fret
