Song Tabs

 "There She Goes" by The La's is a classic Britpop song known for its jangly, bright guitar sound and infectious melody. Its original recording features a clean, chiming electric guitar with a steady, driving rhythm that makes it timeless and accessible for beginners."

Chords & Progression

The song uses simple open chords: G, A, D, Dsus4, C, and Am. Practice switching between these, especially G to D to C, as these transitions come up repeatedly. The D to Dsus4 movement adds a subtle melodic lift—just add your pinky to the high E string (3rd fret) while holding D.

Strumming Pattern

A consistent, light, and upbeat strumming works best—try a basic down-down-up-up-down-up (D D U U D U) pattern for each bar. Keep your wrist loose for the jangly feel, and accentuate the upstrokes to capture the song’s energetic vibe.

Tips for Beginners

Play slowly at first, focusing on smooth chord changes. Loop the intro progression as practice: G–A–D–Dsus4–C. For C, use your ring finger as an anchor from G to C. When you hit D, let it ring out for the repeated [D]s at the end of verses.

Keep the strumming relaxed, and listen to the original for timing cues. Enjoy the process—it’s a great song for developing rhythm and chord-switching speed!
