C G D Stop. Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Chorus: For the chorus the strumming pattern is simply down, down-up, down (V V^V). so you play first chord (G) on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and change chords on the upstroke. During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.
