Song Tabs

 The original "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen is a classic rock anthem known for its driving rhythm and singalong chorus. The version in this ChordPro file is simplified for acoustic guitar, making it accessible for beginners.

Chords

The song uses basic open chords: D, C, G, and A. Make sure you are comfortable switching between these chords. Practice moving from D to C, C to G, and D to A, as these transitions happen frequently.

Strumming Pattern

A straightforward strumming pattern works well: Down – Down – Up – Up – Down – Up
You can keep it simple with steady downstrokes for the verses, and add some upstrokes and accents during the chorus to match the energetic feel.

Tips for Beginners

• Play slowly at first to get comfortable with chord changes.
• Focus on making clean transitions, especially between D–C–G.
• For the instrumental sections, use the same chord progression as the intro and maintain the rhythm.
• Mute the strings slightly with your palm for a punchier sound, especially during the chorus.
• Don’t rush the tempo. Start slow and increase speed as you improve.

With practice, you’ll capture the spirit of Queen’s classic while building your chord and rhythm skills.
