Song Tabs

 "I Fought The Law" by Bobby Fuller is a classic rock and roll track, known for its upbeat tempo and energetic strumming. The original version features jangly guitar work and a driving rhythm that is both accessible and fun for beginner guitarists.

Chords and Progression

The song uses just four basic chords: G, C, D, and D7. All of these are open chords, making it beginner-friendly. Practice switching between G, C, and D/D7 smoothly. The D7 chord adds a bluesy feel, but it's played just like the regular D with a slight variation.

Strumming Pattern

A straightforward strumming pattern works well: try Down-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up for each bar. Keep your strumming hand moving steadily to maintain the song's driving rhythm. If that's tricky, stick to a simple Downstroke pattern, focusing on keeping time.

Tips for Beginners

**- Practice the chord changes slowly, especially between G and C.

• For the intro and instrumental sections, keep your strumming energetic but relaxed.
• Use a slight palm mute by resting the edge of your palm near the bridge for a more percussive sound, as in the original.
• Sing along to help with timing.**

With practice, you'll capture the song's lively spirit and have fun playing along!
