Most of these chords are super beginner-friendly, like D, G, A, and even Bm if you’re up for a barre chord challenge. Watch out for A/C# since it’s a slash chord, but you can just focus on hitting the C# bass if you want to get fancy. Practice smooth transitions, especially between D, G, and A, and you’ll have this song down in no time!
