Song Tabs

 "Squeeze Box," originally by The Who, is a lively, country-tinged rock song built around simple chords and a catchy rhythm. The original version features acoustic guitar and accordion, giving it a lighthearted, bouncy feel.

Chords

The song uses only G, D, and C major chords, making it accessible for beginners. Practice switching smoothly between these chords.

Strumming Pattern

A good pattern is: Down-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up (D-D-U-U-D-U). Keep it steady and bouncy to match the playful energy of the song. Try muting the strings lightly with your palm for a percussive feel.

Chord Transitions

Most verses stay on G, with quick transitions to D and C in the chorus and bridge. Practice moving from G to D and then C. Use your ring finger as a pivot from G to C for smoother changes.

Tips

- Play all open chords for a bright sound.
- Keep your wrist relaxed for easier strumming.
- Repeat the chord progression during instrumental sections.
- Don’t rush; focus on timing and clean chord changes.
- Sing along to help keep track of changes.

With practice, you’ll capture the fun, rhythmic feel of the original.
