This one's a bit of a gem, and the whole song is just two chords, D and E.

That makes it perfect if you're starting and want to practice chord changes and rhythm without things getting too complicated.

We'll start by strumming on the downbeats so you can play along with the original recording straight away. Then, we'll add a bit more flavour—like mutes, accents, and percussive hits — to make it groove.

There's also a really nice little chord you'll want to try: Dmaj7. It's even easier than a normal D (just one finger across three strings) and gives the song a fresh sound. I'd recommend using this one whenever you're strumming.

If you fancy taking it further, we'll explore power chords for the verses. They give the track a darker, heavier feel — a great contrast to the brighter open chords in the chorus. You'll also get tips on using dynamics: play it quieter in the verses, then open up and go louder in the choruses. That kind of contrast keeps a two-chord song really interesting.

And if you're jamming with a friend, this one's great fun—the whole tune sits in the A major scale, so someone can strum the chords while the other improvises some lead lines over the top.

Singing and playing simultaneously can feel awkward here because of the phrasing, but once you line up the chord changes with the lyrics, it starts to fall into place. So, yes—it's a simple tune, but you can do loads with it. Start with the basics, then experiment as you get more confident.
