Song Tabs

 The Mavericks’ “From Hell To Paradise” is a mid-tempo country-rock song with strong Latin and roots influences. The original features rhythmic strumming, steady tempo, and straightforward chord progressions, making it approachable for beginners.

## Chords

The entire song uses just three open chords: G, C, and D. These are classic beginner chords. Practice transitioning smoothly between them before playing along with the song.

## Strumming Pattern

A simple down-down-up-up-down-up (D-D-U-U-D-U) strumming pattern fits the feel well. For an even easier version, use all downstrokes or down-down-up-down (D-D-U-D) to keep the rhythm steady.

## Chord Transitions

Every line typically features one chord per bar. Focus on making clean transitions, especially from G to C and C to D. Pause and practice switching between each pair if you’re new to these chords.

## Tips for Beginners

• Keep your strumming hand moving steadily, even if you miss a chord change.
• Play slowly at first, then increase speed as you become more comfortable.
• Use a capo if you want to match the original key but find the chords difficult to sing with.

## Song Structure

The progression is repetitive: G–C–D throughout verses, chorus, and instrumental sections. This consistency helps you memorize the changes quickly.

Enjoy playing and let the rhythm drive your performance!
