How to play "Pinaiyak Mo Na Naman Ako" by Rivermaya on guitar

Verse I:
- Chords: C, G, Am, F, D
- Start with "Pinaiyak mo na naman ako," using the chord progression C, G, Am.
  Strum these chords softly to match the emotional tone of the lyrics.
- For "ni hindi pa nga ako nagalmusal, sobra na akong utal-utal," switch to F and C.
  This change highlights the frustration and confusion expressed in the lyrics.
- The phrase "yakapin mo naman, ang pusong sugatan" should be particularly emotive;
  use the F, C, Am, and D to G transition to deepen the emotional impact.

Verse II:
- Use the same chord progression as Verse I: C, G, Am for the opening lines,
  and then F, C for the introspective parts.
- The lyrics "Bakit ka naman lumalayo? galit na galit pa rin mga mata mo"
  should be accompanied by a slight increase in strumming intensity to reflect
  the escalating emotional tension.
- For "Patawarin ako sinta, iyakin lang talaga," the transition from F, G to Am,
  and then D to G at the end adds a pleading, sorrowful quality to the appeal.

Interlude:
- Chords: C, G, Am
- Repeat this progression 4 times.
- The interlude serves as a moment to reflect on the emotional narrative so far.
- Keep the strumming light and contemplative.

- Follow the same chord progression and strumming pattern as the first two verses.
- Continue to convey the song's emotional narrative with sensitivity.

Ending:

- Close the song with a gentle resolution, reflecting a sense of acceptance or
  resignation to the emotional situation described in the song.

General Tips:
- Listen to the original track to capture the correct tempo and emotional delivery.
