Back for more Acoustic songs to learn for your journey to achieving great guitar skills? Well, don’t worry, I found some more songs that are easy to learn and fun to play. These songs are proven to sound almost perfect even though the chords are made for beginners.
The first song I have for you tonight is called The Mountains Win Again by Blues Travelers. There is a small warning I want to put out there; This song is extremely fun to play and easy so it may be quite addictive!
First, let’s look at the chords you will need for this song.
G: 320033
Dsus4: 000233
D: 000232
Csus4: 032033
Cadd9: 032030
If you aren’t sure how to interpret these tabs into actual chords, don’t worry it’s easy. The 0’s are the open strings and the numbers represent the fret you will be holding in order to create the chord. For example, the D chord will be in the second and third frets and will take place on the last three strings on the guitar.
So, lets take a look at the first song.
G ————- Csus4 — Dsus4
I pick up my smile and put it in my pocket
G ————- Csus4 — Dsus4
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
G ————- Csus4 — Dsus4
Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it
G ———- Csus4 — Dsus4
Keep it all inside, don’t show how much she rocked you
Practice jumping from these chords before trying to master the music. If you listen to the actual song then you will have no problem finding out the strum pattern. The chorus is a little easier to play and goes like this:
D ——————— Cadd9
Ooh, can you feel the same
D ——————— Cadd9
Ooh, you gotta love the pain
D ————— Cadd9
Ooh, it looks like rain (again)
D —————- Cadd9
Ooh I feel it comin in The mountains win again
D ——————- Cadd9
The mountains win again
The second song I want you to learn is also by the Blues Travelers. This one is called Run Around is, believe it or not, is even easier than The Mountains Win Again. The Chords are simpler and are listed below.
G: 320033
D: 000232
Cadd9: 032030
Am 002210
Are you ready to dive into yet another fascinating song? Here we go!
G — Cadd9 — Am —— D
Once upon a midnight dearie
G — Cadd9 — Am —— D
I woke with something in my head
G —- Cadd9 — Am — D
I couldn’t escape the memory
G — Cadd9 — Am —— D
Of a phone call and of what you said
The strumming pattern is extremely simple for this song. I found it to be a simple Down, Down, Up pattern. This pattern and set of chords runs through out the entire song.
Good luck learning these two songs and, also, have fun playing with these chords.
