Okay, one, two, one, two, three, four.

NotesBeta

To learn Moby Grape - Motocycle Irene chords, your first step should be understanding these chords - F, G, D, G, D and Am in sequence. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 94 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 189. With an eye on the song's key G Major, set the capo that best suits your vocal range.
