"Forgetful Lucy" by Adam Sandler
From the 50 First Dates Soundtrack
This, like most anything by Adam Sandler, is pretty easy to play. If you haven't seen the
movie, it's based in Hawaii, and it sounds like he might be playing this on a ukelele or
some kind of smaller sized guitar. To get close to that sound, you can put a capo on the
3rd fret, in standard tuning.
The intro and verse is just those two progressions repeated after each other. I tried to
show the timing for the strumming, but you should listen to the song for the exact
timing. For the chorus, it's just an A chord strummed a few times followed by a single
strum of the chord shown after it. Again, listen to the song for the timing.
An "x" indicates muting the string.
