"D" - DUD then pick the high e on the way back up
"G" - as D_D_D then pick the high e on the way back up.

Then play the Em & A as DUD_DUDU

Alternating as I outlined above for chorus and verses it comes off pretty good.]]> Easy Songs Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/cat-stevens-where-do-the-children-play-strum-pattern/#post-96791 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/cat-stevens-where-do-the-children-play-strum-pattern/#post-96790 Tue, 05 Apr 2005 02:56:34 +0000
Whats played on the D and the G is really a strum then a pulloff on the D's and a strum then a hammeron on the G's
D G D G |-2-2p0-2-0h2-3-3---3-3---|-2-2p0-2-0h2-3-3---3-3---| |-3-3---3-3---5-5p3-5-3h5-|-3-3---3-3---5-5p3-5-3h5-| |-2-----2-2---4-----4-4---|-2-----2-2---4-----4-4---| |-0-----0-0-----------0---|-0-----0-0-----------0---| |-------------5-----5-----|-------------5-----5-----| |-------------3-----3-0---|-------------3-----3-0---| The rest of the rhythm is played on the Em and A and the pattern for them seems to be DUD_DUDU

The way the song is played it is the D & G for the into and verse 1 then the chorus is the Em & A for part of it then back to the D & G. Then verse 2 is the D & G again. Verse 3 is D & G again then the chorus is Em & A then the outro is D & G again.

You may just want to just try the DUD_DUDU pattern for the 3 chords and see how it sounds.
