Riff strumming pattern:
 
^: from down to up (e to E)
v: from up to down
 
--v--v--^v^v-^--v^-
 
Personnally, I do the middle part like this: -v^v^-v-.  It doesn't really matter.
The last two strums of the riff are sort of a transition to the next riff and also
keep the beat going in chord changes.  You'll see by listenning to the song, but
anyway, it comes naturally.
 
 
Dido: White Flag (acoustic)
 
Intro:
Dm (2X)
 
Verse: (
[Dm]I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, 
I'll [Am]tell you that.
But if [Dm]I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it 
[Am]where's the sense in that? 
 
I promise [C]I'm not trying to make your life harder 
Or ret[Gm]urn to where we were   [Am]
 
Chorus: (1X each chord)
[Bb]Well I will go down with this [F]ship 
And I won't [Gm]put my hands up and sur[Dm]render 
There will be [Bb]no white flag above my [F]door 
I'm in [C]love and always [Gm]will be 
 
Verse:
[Dm]I know I left too much mess and 
destruction to come [Am]back again 
And I caused [Dm]nothing but trouble 
I understand if you can't [Am]talk to me again 
 
[C]And if you live by the rules of "it's over" 
then I'm [Gm]sure that that makes sense [Am]
 
Chorus:
[Bb]Well I will go down with this [F]ship 
And I won't [Gm]put my hands up and sur[Dm]render 
There will be [Bb]no white flag above my [F]door 
I'm in [C]love and always [Gm]will be 
 
Bridge: (2X each chord)
And when we [F]meet 
Which I'm sure we will 
All that was [Am]then 
Will be there still 
I'll let it [Gm]pass 
And hold my tongue 
And you will [C]think 
That I've moved on.... 
 
Chorus:
[Bb]Well I will go down with this [F]ship 
And I won't [Gm]put my hands up and sur[Dm]render 
There will be [Bb]no white flag above my [F]door 
I'm in [C]love and always [Gm]will be 
 
[Bb]Well I will go down with this [F]ship 
And I won't [Gm]put my hands up and sur[Dm]render 
There will be [Bb]no white flag above my [F]door 
I'm in [C]love and always [Gm]will be
