Chords for How to Play Dead-Bird by McCafferty on Guitar

Hey guys, welcome back [B] to another episode of the mic class
_ Filming two videos in the same day because I'm a little behind on requests _ _
So today I'm gonna teach you [F#] as you might have guessed by the title of the video is dead bird
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ Off of the album _ Beach Boy its _ first song off the album, that's why I'm doing it first
[Bm] _ _ _ _
_ So the way the song is structured you got your intro your verse [B] you got your chorus
You got your second verse and then you have your chorus a couple more times
_ _ _ [F#] _ You're gonna play
_ two different patterns
your intro is gonna be played through your verses too and _
It's a little complicated, [B] but _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you'll get it with practice
_ So we're gonna do you can take your first finger _ and you're gonna put it on the second fret of the top string
[F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And [Em] you're gonna leave the other ones open [G] make sure you don't mute those other strings on accident
So you put your finger right [F#m] there and you're gonna play _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] That's [F#] the _ _ your first thing on the second fret [F#m] _
and the open a string _ _ _ _
So _ _ [Bm] _ you [C#] play one and two and three [F#m] and four and _ _ _ _
[F#] And then you're gonna [B] move your first finger down to the fourth fret of the a string and you're gonna play open _
East ring on the top.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So it's gonna go and _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ All you're doing there is you're going
_ _ [E] _ open four open five open four [Em] open five _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ and then you're gonna play
_ [B] You put your finger on the [E] fifth fret of the top string and leave the bottom string [A] open _ _
_ _ _ _ One and two and three and four [F#m] and and then slide it down to the seventh fret of the [B] top string
one two, and three four
_ _ _ So it's gonna sound like this so far
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] When you're playing the seventh
_ [G] When you're [B] on the seventh fret you're only gonna play one two
Three [A] and and lift your finger [B] and play the [E]
open
top string
[F#m] One and two and three and four [E] and one two three four
[A] One two, three four [B] and one two, and [E] three four _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ So that's the intro you're gonna play it two times and then you're gonna play that throughout the entire first verse
_ _ _ When you get to the chorus, you're gonna do some [Bm] power chords.
The chords you're gonna need to know is
_ _ _ _ [F#] F sharp _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] e
_ _ _ [F#] a _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] and B _
_ _ [F#] _ And you're gonna play it just like this
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] There you go, that's the chorus [F#] and then you're gonna play the second verse [F#m] which is just _
You're [D] back to that same picking [F#m] pattern
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
And then you're gonna get to the chorus again
And this time you what you're gonna do is you're gonna palm mute [F#] you can take your hand
You're gonna put it down [E] here on the strings
_ _ So it's muted _ _ _ _ _ [F#] and you're gonna play the same [C#] chords
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Just like [Bm] that.
You're gonna play _ _
the chorus twice
Palm muted [G#] and then you're gonna [G] open it back up and [F#] you're gonna play _ _
_ _ Unmuted _ _ _ [D] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [Bm] _
you play that twice.
So you got your [F#m] intro _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
and then you got your [F#] chorus
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ So with some practice it's a pretty [F#] easy song
_ _ _ You just [F#m] gotta
_ _ _ [E] _ Work [G#] on getting the picking down
_ Chorus is super simple.
There's four chords [F#] F sharp e a
_ [Bm] _ B
_ [F#] _ _
And if you don't want to play e, _ I mean, they're all power chords.
So it's just
_ _ [G#] Three strings.
They're all on the top.
E [E] is just open top string and then _ _ _ second fret on the next two strings down _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Em] I [G#] hope this was [G] helpful guys
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ That's all for now _ new video _ _ _ _ within the next week I promise _ _ _ _ _
