Chords for Older Beginner Guitar players, How to Play Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[B] _ Here we go.
[D] D chord, _ [G] _
G, _ [A] _ [D] A, _ D.
[E] That's going to get us into the song.
Let's get a strum
pattern.
Down, up, up, down, up.
[D] Okay?
That's going to be one.
So here's what we're going
to do.
One strum pattern of each, _ D, [A] G, A, [D] then we're going to come back to the D and
then we're going to do two strum patterns.
Okay?
So here we go.
One, _ _
[G] _ one, _ _ [A] one, _
_ [D] one, _ _ two. _
_ _ [E] Now from that point on, we're going to get into the actual verse itself where we're going
to go back and forth between D and A.
Okay?
So here's what we do.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] So I did that strum
pattern six times before it changes to the A.
So here we [D] go.
One, _ _ two, _ _ _ three, _ _ four, _ _ five, _
_ six.
Switch.
[A] One, _ _ _ two, _ _ three, _ _ four, _ _ five, _ _ six, _ _ seven, _ _ _ eight.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Okay?
So on the A, you
do it eight times.
Then you come back to D for one and _ _ then you're going to do a D7 chord.
So it's just like the mirror image of this chord.
You [C#] flip it around [D] and now instead
of your finger being on the B string third fret, it's on the B string first fret.
_ _ _ _ And
that gets you into the chorus.
It goes. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ And then we're going to get into the chorus which
is G, [A] _ [D] A, _ D.
Okay?
[G] So _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] it's again, G, one, [A] A, [D] one, D, two.
You do that twice.
So we [G] got
it.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Third time.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] Okay?
So back to the G and the A business as usual.
Then we go [D] like this.
_ _ G.
[G] _ _ _ Okay?
So [D] what we did, we went D and then I do an F sharp or a D with an F sharp in
the bass rather.
_ _ You got that A string with [G] this finger and then straight to the G. _ _ _ _
Pause.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] And then you [A] basically do A twice, [D] D twice. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Okay?
So let me take it from the very beginning.
I'll go all the way through the verse and through a chorus.
And then you'll know it
kind of just, you know, those are the parts and then they kind of repeat themselves.
Okay?
Especially if you don't have like a guitar solo or anything.
Solo section is a hair different
but for the most part we don't need to worry about that because we're just singing and
playing.
There's no soloing here.
Okay.
So here we go.
Ready?
