Chord All-american Girl by Carrie Underwood

so this is my first chord tab . this is how i play it , it seems to work and a pretty good crowd pleaser . i did do this by ear , so feel free to correct me if you actually know the proper chords . the strumming pattern i use changes throughout the song . for the into i use half a bar of music 2 out of the 4 beats per chord G - dd D - uu , Em7 - uu D - uuudu - with a half down strum to sometimes change chords and then during the verse i change to 1 chord per bar of music ddu udu udu . the chorus is again a little different but you will see that in the write up . i hope that made sense to people , if not make it up on your own carrie underwood all - american girl tuning : standard capo on 1 intro : G D Em7 D x2 G D since the day they got married Em7 D G D Em7 he’d been praying for a little baby boy . . .
