NotesBeta

To learn Roy Orbison - The Only One chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: G, D, G, Em, A, D, Bm, D and Bm. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 43 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 87. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of G Major.
