Song Tabs

 The Beatles’ version of “Please Mister Postman” is upbeat and built around simple chords, making it accessible for beginners. The original’s lively feel comes from its Motown roots, so try to capture that energy.

Chords:
G, Em, C, D, A7 are all open-position chords, perfect for beginners.

Strumming Pattern:
Start with a simple down-up strum (D D U U D U) per bar. Keep your wrist relaxed for a bouncy, steady rhythm. Listen to the recording for the song’s driving, almost percussive feel.

Chord Transitions:

• Practice moving smoothly from G to Em, as this happens throughout the verses and outro.
• The switch from Em to C, and then to D, is also common, so focus on minimizing finger lifts between these chords.

Tips:

• Keep your strumming hand moving even if you miss a chord change—rhythm is key.
• Mute the strings with your palm lightly if you want to emulate the “stops” in some lines for dynamic effect.
• Sing along to help with timing, especially during the repetitive outro.

Technique:
Since the song repeats similar progressions, memorize the G-Em-C-D cycle.
Focus on keeping the tempo lively and the transitions clean for that classic early Beatles sound.
