🎶 BRO GOZH MA ZADOU  
(Key: A Major • Time: 3/4 • Tempo: ~70 BPM • Hymn Style)

-------------------------------------
🎸 STRUMMING PATTERN (3/4 Hymn Waltz)
↓   ↓↑   ↓↑  
(1   2 3)

💡 Tips:
• Accent the **first beat** (the “down” of each measure).  
• Keep strokes gentle — a church-hymn or folk-anthem feel.  
• For more emotion: let each chord ring on the 1st beat, light brush on 2–3.

Alternate for softer verse:  
↓ (bass) ↓↑ (chord) ↓↑ (chord)

-------------------------------------
🎵 FINGERPICKING PATTERN (Gentle 3/4 Arpeggio)
p – i – m – i – m – i  
(Thumb = bass; Index = G string; Middle = B string)

→ Thumb plays root note on beat 1  
→ Fingers roll upward softly for beats 2–3  
→ Let each measure flow like a wave — calm but powerful
