Beginner Guitarists: A fair knowledge of open chords is required to play this song confidently.
Beginners can play an open Bm chord shape as a substitute if barre chords are too challenging. But if you find the Bm chord getting easier, that’s a great sign you’re ready to start learning barre chords — which actually make many songs easier to play once mastered!
The timing can be a little tricky - look at the timing count in the Intro above and play along till it feels comfortable counting while you play... after you listen to the song a few times you will get the hang of it.
This song has been charted with most chords placed on the beat, making it easier to play along — especially for solo performers. You can experiment with the off-beat work once you get a good feel for the song.
The G chord can also be played as G/D which means a G chord leading with a D bass note - simply omit the bottom 2 strings so that you lead with an open D note on the 4th string like so (RH/LH charts):
