Verse 1
||: Csus2 C Csus2 | Csus2 C Csus2 | Fsus2 F Fsus2 | Fsus2 F Fsus2 :||
Picking up the pieces, of the wreck you went and left.
And I’m dealing with dilemmas, in my now so-stressful life.
And I’m drinking stronger spirits, I made my home here on the floor,
and I’m losing all ambition and goals.

And I’m going all out, and I’m thinking you’re just as bad.

No sleeping at night, but I’m going from bar to bar.

Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind?
Verse 2
||: Csus2 C Csus2 | Csus2 C Csus2 | Fsus2 F Fsus2 | Fsus2 F Fsus2 :||
Oh remember at 16, oh the crazy drunken night we had.
When I kissed you in the hallway, then I took you straight to bed.

Oh two years on, and I’m still that same boy and I’m.
Chorus 2

Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind?
Not sleeping at night, but I’m going from bar to bar.
Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind? Why can’t we just rewind?

You can learn how to play Rewind!
The original recording of Paolo Nutini‘s Rewind is played in the key of C (see chords and lyrics above).
When I recorded Spytunes’ version, this was too low for my female singer, so I added a capo on fret 2, making it in the key of D.
I felt this was perfectly fine as all you have to do is remove the capo and you’ll play it just like Paolo does.
What I didn’t expect was that doing this gave me a great chance to create a 2nd guitar part, in the key of D, without a capo.
In the video above you can see how I first “play in C” with the capo, then without in D. This is the best way to arrange for two acoustic guitars as the different chord shapes together create a bigger sound.
It’s also an excellent way of getting better at playing guitar since you have to change the key and design new parts.
In the course, we also put the capo on fret 5 and think in A, creating yet another guitar part.
Rewind’s 8 guitar lessons in the course
Rewind may not be fast but the strumming contains a lot of upstrokes. We could call this syncopated, should we want to use big words.
As this may take some time to get used to, a bunch of exercises are included with the song lessons.
In total, there are 8 step-by-step lessons for Rewind available. Here are links to each lesson in the course (members only):
- Step 1 – Chord progression
- Step 2 – 16th note rhythmical exercises
- Step 3 – Strumming pattern
- Step 4 – The complete song, with TAB
- Step 5 – 2nd guitar parts
- Step 6 – 2nd guitar play along, with TAB
- Step 7 – 3rd guitar parts
- Step 8 – 3rd guitar play along, with TAB
