Chords for Seaside by The Kooks

Note: I like to strum two louder down strums for the first chord followed by a series of softer ups and
downs for the second chord of each line verse. Listen to the song to hear what I mean. For the chorus, I
strum a loud calypso D D D pattern. !he "#m$ means two %uick down strums. #gain, listen to
the song and you will know what it represents.
