Head Strong Groundation
I believe this is a 2/2 time signature -althought I could be mistaken..
It is an awesome song overall written in key of A minor.
Here we go with the chords:
For the intro:
Strum the A minor chord with root on 6th note the first time, the second
run go for the Am chord again, but this time an octave higher -root on 12th fret, 5th string.
[Am]What was love from my father Yes I'll teach to my[G] son, yeah
What was love from my mother Yes I'll teach to daughter
[Am]For you must remember my friend The line of history is stretch and it is [G]far beyond we
[Am]And still we stand time and time again As a tribe tod[G]ay

And that's about it, the struming is ridiculously easy, best if you strum upwards.
The only time it changes is during Em and G chords that it is strummed twice during each beat.
