To start learning The B-52S - Private Idaho chords, centre your learning around these elemetal chords sequence: A, G, A, E, G, E, B and E. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 43 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 88. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: F Minor.
