Song Tabs

 "Mind Your Own Business" is a classic Hank Williams song, originally performed in a lively country style with a strong rhythm and simple, catchy melodies. The original version showcases a shuffle groove typical of early country music.

Chords and Transitions

The song uses just four chords: E, E7, A7, and B7. These are all open chords, making it suitable for beginners. Practice switching between E and E7 by simply lifting your ring finger; between E and A7, keep your index finger anchored for stability. The B7 chord is the trickiest—practice moving to and from it slowly, ensuring each string rings clearly.

Strumming Pattern

For an authentic feel, use a basic country shuffle strumming pattern: Down, down-up, down, down-up
Accent the first down strum of each pair to mimic the “boom-chick” rhythm. You can palm mute slightly for a percussive sound.

Tips

Keep your wrist loose to maintain the rhythm. During instrumental sections, keep the strumming consistent to drive the song forward. If the B7 is difficult, substitute with a B major or play only the top four strings of B7 until you’re comfortable.

Practice slowly, focusing on clean chord changes and steady rhythm. Gradually increase your speed as you gain confidence. Have fun with the lively country feel!
