Song Tabs

 The Beatles originally performed "Two Of Us" as a gentle, acoustic-driven song featuring close harmonies and a relaxed, folk-influenced feel. The original is played with a simple, strummed acoustic guitar, making it approachable for beginners.

Chords

You’ll need the following chords: D, G, Em, A, F, Am, Dm7, and Dm. Most of the song uses D, G, Em, and A, which are all beginner-friendly open chords. The bridge introduces F, Am, Dm7, and Dm; F can be tricky, so use an easy F (xx3211) if needed.

Strumming Pattern

A simple strumming pattern works well:

Down-down-up-up-down-up
Try to keep it light and relaxed, matching the song’s mellow mood. Strum each chord once for a bar, unless there are quick changes (e.g. G–D–Em).

Chord Transitions and Tips

• Practice moving between D, G, and Em, as these transitions happen quickly.
• For the bridge, switch to F and Am smoothly by practicing the chord shapes separately.
• When you reach [A], prepare your fingers for D, as this change repeats often.
• Keep your strumming soft and even, focusing on dynamics to capture the song’s gentle vibe.

Listen to the original to get a feel for the tempo and strumming, and sing along to help with timing.
