Song Tabs

 "G'day G'day" is a classic Australian country song by Slim Dusty, well known for its upbeat, welcoming feel, and simple, singalong chorus. The original version features a lively, folksy rhythm that suits both solo and group performances."

Chords and Structure

The song uses basic open chords:
G, D, C, Em, A, B7, D7, E7, A7

Most of the song is built around G, D, C, and Em, making it accessible for beginners.
The bridge introduces a few additional chords (D7, E7, A7, B7), but these appear briefly and can be practiced separately.

Strumming Pattern

A simple and effective strumming pattern for beginners is: Down, down-up, up-down-up
This gives a nice bounce, matching the cheerful energy of the original.

Try muting the strings lightly with your palm on some down strums to create a country feel.

Chord Transitions and Tips

Practice moving between G, D, and C, as these transitions occur frequently.
For smoother transitions:

• Keep your ring finger anchored on the B string when moving between G and C.
• Use your index finger as a guide when shifting from D to G.

For the Em and B7 sections, focus on clear finger placement to avoid buzzing.

If B7 or E7 are unfamiliar, substitute with Em or D7 for simplicity while learning.

General Advice

Play at a moderate tempo at first.
Sing along to help with timing.
Remember, the song is about a friendly greeting—keep your playing relaxed and welcoming!
