This week’s song to learn is Country Roads by John Denver. It is a simple campfire song that uses four simple chords: G, Em, D, and C. Here is the song line by line with the chords overlayed.
When playing, use a down down / up down up country strumming pattern. The slash indicates an 8th-note rest. You can also only hit the first string on the first strum down of each bar to give it that twangy feel.
Here is a video of someone playing this song a lot better than I can, just for a little inspiration.
