You’re in luck—this song uses mostly easy open chords like G, C, Em, and D, which are super beginner-friendly. Bm pops up, and that’s a barre chord, so take your time with it and make sure your index finger is pressing down firmly. Practice switching between open and barre shapes smoothly. Have fun with the groove and let the chords ring out!
