This song mostly uses easy open chords like C, G, D, and Em, which are great for beginners. Watch out for the B major chord in the verse and chorus, since it’s a barre chord and can be tricky at first. Practice switching smoothly between the open chords and take your time getting comfortable with the B shape. Keep your strumming relaxed and have fun!
