Song Tabs

 "Jesus Loves Me" is a well-known Christian children's song, loved across generations for its simple melody and message. The original version is gentle and straightforward, making it ideal for beginner guitarists.

Chords Used

C, F, G7
All chords are open and suitable for beginners. Spend some time practicing the transitions between C, F, and G7, as these can be tricky at first, especially moving to and from F.

Strumming Pattern

Start with a simple downstroke strum:

Down, Down, Down, Down
Strum once per beat, keeping a steady rhythm. For a gentler feel, try:

Down, Down-Up, Down, Down-Up
This adds a bit of movement but remains beginner-friendly.

Chord Transitions

Practice moving from C to F by anchoring your index finger (1st fret, B string) and pivoting your hand. For G7, move your fingers quickly and keep your wrist relaxed. If F barre is hard, use the easy F (xx3211).

Techniques and Tips

• Sing along as you play to help keep time.
• Use a capo on the 1st or 2nd fret if you want a higher pitch that suits your voice.
• Play slowly at first and increase speed as you gain confidence.

Keep your strumming light and the tempo even for the best results.
