I'm hoping to learn this song the Robert Palmer UB40 version , but i'm struggling with the chorus strum pattern where they start
"well that mockingbird gonna sail away "
if anybody has any ideas would appreciate your input .

From the original Bob Dylan version, published in the key of F :

Well that (Bb) mocking bird's gonna sail away
(F) We're gonna forget it
That (G) big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But, (C7) we're gonna let it, You won't regret it

Kick your (F) shoes off etc etc ...

A mate of mine used to sing "bring that body over here" ... sometimes he got lucky

Hope this helps :music:

Ooops:

Sorry, misread the original posting ...saw "chords" instead of "chorus"

I use (mostly) a basic "boom chukka boom" rhythm, DOWN down/up DOWN right through the song, just occasionally leaving out the "chukka" for emphasis.

Try this pattern:
(1) & 2 (&) 3 (&) (4) (&) -> Down, Up, Up, Down, Up

Try really slow at first and be sure to count out loud "One and two and..."

Hope this helps!

Thankyou Kypfer & Maguwa i'll try your suggestions .
