You’ll be happy to know this song mostly uses easy open chords like Em, G, D, C, and Am, which are super beginner-friendly. Only D# stands out as a less common chord, so you might want to use a barre shape for that one. Practice smooth transitions, especially between Em and G, and try to keep your strumming hand relaxed for a steady rhythm.
