Chords for How to Play How Sweet It Is - James Taylor (cover) - Medium 6 Chord Tune

Hey guys, Party Marty here, Easy Guitar Tunes.
I got another one of my favorite tunes by [G] one of my favorite artists, [Eb] James Taylor.
It's called How Sweet [E] It Is.
This is a great party tune to play in any situation.
It was also a request by [G] a couple of my subscribers, so I thought I would put this on the channel.
There's a lot going on in this song, but if you strum through these chords, _ _ you're able to pull it off no problem.
There's a few runs in it that I put in there that I'll try to explain that I can.
I also play this song on a G.
I know it's not the regular key that he plays it out of, but it fits my voice.
I'm trying to simplify this song a little bit so you guys can learn it.
Anyway, the chords to it are G, _ _ then I run from G into E minor, a simple three note run.
It's the top string on the G, then [F] the index finger on the second [Gb] fret, top string, and then [Em] E minor. _
_ _ _ Then there's a [D] D, _ _ _ then there's a [C] C, _ and a C7.
So all it is is adding your baby [Eb] finger to the third string from the bottom in the [C] third fret.
_ It kind of gives it that bluesy feel, right?
_ _ There's also a G7.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm trying to think.
Am I missing anything?
I think I got them all.
So again, they're G, _ _ run into E [Em] minor, _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ D, _ [C]
C, _ C7. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] There's also an A minor in there, and I run from my C to my A minor.
So it would look like [C] this. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ So all [C] it is is your regular C shape, pluck the second string in the C,
_ then lift the third [G] finger, second finger, second fret, [Eb] second string from [B] the top.
_ [G] Then your regular A [Am] minor strum. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] So basically there's only one other run that I do after the chorus,
and that C kind of runs up to G and then back to C, so it's like four or five [C] notes.
Anyway, it goes like this.
Regular C shape.
_ Lift [Bb] that third finger, _ second string from the top in the second fret with your [B] second finger.
_ [C] And then open, second string from [A] the top. _
_ And then third finger down, top string, third [G] fret, and then back down [C] to C.
_ So it sounds like this.
[B] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
And then you run into A minor.
[Am] _ So [Eb] the strum is kind of a nice dancy kind [Bb] of a bebop strum almost.
It's [D] kind of _ _ like_
[Em] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Strum along with that until you get it, [D] and then join us for the song.
_ [C] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ So it's [F] kind of like that.
So yeah, practice that a little bit, and then join us with the song.
This is James Taylor, How Sweet It Is.
It's a really good tune to play, so let's give this one a [G] go.

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] There you were. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Close my eyes at [Em] night.
_ _ _ [D] Wondering where would I be [C] without you in my life.
[G] _ Everything I did [Em] was such a bore.
_ [D] Everywhere I went [C] seems a better land than before.
[G] But you brighten up for [C] me all of my days.
[G] Love so sweet [C] in so many ways.
I [G] wanna stop and [C] thank you, baby.
I just [G] wanna stop and [C] thank you, baby.
Oh yeah.
How sweet [Am] it is to be loved [G] by you.
Just like sugar, darling.
_ [C] _ How sweet [Am] it is to [D] be loved [G] by you. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] You were [G] better to me than [C] I was to myself.
_ [Em] For me, there's you and ain't nobody else.
I wanna stop [G] _ and thank you, baby.
I just wanna stop and thank you, baby. Oh [C] yeah.
How [Em] sweet it is to [D] be loved [G] by you.
[G] _ Feels so nice.
_ [C] _ How [Em] sweet it is to [D] be loved by you.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ How sweet [Am] it is to be [D]
loved by you.
_ Like honey to the beat, baby.
_ [C] How [Em] sweet it [Am] is to be [D] loved by you.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] Now that's a great tune.
You can [Db] run that one on and keep singing that chorus, but that [N] is a real fun tune to play.
I've kind of condensed that.
I know there's a little bit going on in that song, but I did play it at a G.
I did it for a couple reasons.
It kind of fits my voice, and also it's a little easier to play than the way James Taylor plays it.
Anyway, guys, I hope you enjoyed that one.
