You Make it Look so Easy By Eric Church Rhythm Pattern

When I first heard this song I began to dive in. And I was listening to the live version. If you haven’t heard it. Check it out on YouTube. But then a month later after I did the YouTube video I heard a different version of the song. It’s hard to believe it’s the same song. The Rhythm pattern in the live version goes like this. D U D U D D D, D U D U DD.

The Into to Eric Church You Make it Look so Easy (Live)

The song starts with a G but there is a little Lick in between the chord strum. And it goes like this; First you are using your second finger on the second fret of the D string. Which is the fourth string. And what you want to do is pick the D string open. Meaning with no fretting the string. Then you fret the D string at the second fret. With that second finger. And then pick the open G string.

After that you go right into strumming the G chord. When you strum the G chord. You want to strum Down Up Down. That’s it. Then Pick that same little Riff. You do this 4 times. And then the Verse starts.

Also You want to use the palm of your hand to mute the strings after strumming the G chord. Deaden the strings so that you can play the Lick.

Eric Church Lyrics to You make it Look so Easy

I got a hard head, I get that from my dad.
And I can over react just a tad.
I put up walls to show the world I'm tough.
When things don't get my way,  I get difficult.

But when it comes to loving me.
Baby You make it look so easy.

I'm Probably wrong more than I say. 
And I'd point that out if you were that way.
Yeah, I'm hard to love and even harder to live with.
And I know there's days, you just want to up and quit.

But when it comes to loving me.
Baby You make it look so easy.

Your my compass when I'm lost, my anchor when I get tossed.
And the right way, when all I can do is wrong. 
Sometimes I drink till I fall down. 
Your arms save me from the ground.
Hold me till all the hurt is gone.

Yeah I got a hard head, I was born that way.
And that makes me wrong, more than I say.
But I thank God, you got a hard head too. 
I guess he must have known, you need that to get us through.

And when it comes to loving me, Baby you, make it look so easy. 
Your my refuge from the road, a safe place to go.
When I'm out here living on this ledge.
And when I'm circling the drain, you keep my crazy sane.
And quiet all the voices in my head.

I got a hard head, I was born that way.
And that makes me wrong, more than I say.
But I thank God, you got a hard head too.
I guess he must have known, you need that to get us through.

And when it comes to loving me, Baby you, make it look so easy.
Yeah, Baby you, make it look so easy.
