Eagle Eye Cherry - Still Having Fun
This is the ultimate beginner song and is perfect as anybody’s first guitar song. The main progression uses three simple and very common chords which are relatively easy to change between (Em, Am, C) with simple timing and strumming. With a little practice you can have this song sounding great.
The chorus offers a slight variation by introducing the D chord.
Here are the chords (in this order) that you will need for this song:
Verse and Chorus:
Strum down on the Em twice, down on the Am twice and then four times down on the C. This gives you a chord progression of Em, Am, C, C. Simply maintain this pattern for the whole song!
Bridge:
If you have a capo put it on the fourth fret for this song (learn how to use a capo). If not, don’t worry the song will still sound fine without it!
Here are the lyrics and the chords put together for the song:
