Chords for 7 Years - Lukas Graham // Guitar Tutorial // Easy Chords

All right, are we good?
Hello people of the internet.
[F] Welcome back [Gm] to a new guitar lesson
[Cm] All right.
[Gm] Today we are learning seven years [G] by Lucas Graham.
[Dm] You guys requested this [Gm] song
I don't even know how [Cm] many times just [Bb] too many to count and [D] when requests [C] like that happen
I'm like I need to do [D] this song
I actually posted [Bb] on my Instagram this morning asking you guys [D] which song you guys thought I was gonna be teaching [Bb] today and
[Gm] Only one person got it
[C] One [Dm] person guessed seven [D] years like I [Bb] don't understand how more people did not guess [Bb] the song
It is like number one on iTunes right now
Okay, so I'm just gonna go ahead [F] and give a shout out to the winner.
[Bb] Her name is Alice in Wonderland 18
so congratulations, you guessed [Cm] the tutorial right today you get a
[Gm] You get a virtual [Bb] high five.
All right [E] starting off with the [Gm] easiest chord in the song.
We have an E minor
[Gm] _ _
_ _ _ then [C] we have a G major [Bb] a
_ _ _ _ C [Eb] major and
_ _ _ [Abm] a D major
[F] _ _ _ _ _ All right now getting [N] into strumming here.
We have a few different patterns
I'm gonna go ahead and start off with the easiest pattern which mostly occurs in the intro and in the bridge.
They're just single down [Gm] strums
_ Really simple really easy.
[E]
We're also going to come across the pattern down [Eb] down down up
It's going to go _ _ _ _
_ Now this next [N] pattern might be a little bit trickier to you.
It's down down up down down
So down down up down up down _
So there's going to be three different chords within this pattern.
So it's going to [Gm] go a minor _
[Bb] G
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ Down up [F] down up [Bb] down _ _
[Gm] I'll do it one more time down _ down up [F] down up
[Bb] Down all right now [C] very last strumming pattern is going to sound like this
_ _ [D] _
_ _ [Ab] _ So that's down down up
_ [G] Now we're gonna just pair it with the C chord because that's what I use it with so [Eb] C chord, here we go _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And for those of you that need a little bit of slo-mo I'm just gonna go down
Down up up down down up down up
All right, guys.
[N] So now that we have the chords and the strumming we're just gonna go ahead and get into the song _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ Once I was [Bb] seven years old
My mama [Eb] told me go make [F] yourself some friends that you'll be lonely
_ [Gm] Once I [Bb] was seven years old
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ It was a [F] big big [Bb] world, but we thought we were [Eb] bigger
Pushed each other [F] to the limits we were [Gm] learning quicker
But a [Bb] little smoking herb and drinking burning [Eb] liquor
Never reached so we [F] were out to make that steady figure
[Gm] Once I was 11 [Bb] years old
My daddy told [Eb] me go make yourself [F] a wife and you'll be lonely
Once I was 11 [Bb] years
I _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ always had that [Bb] dream like my daddy before
