Don't Worry, Be Happy

Unread post by Icarus » Sat Jun 04, 2005 5:37 pm

I know this song is pretty simple to play, but I'm just starting out and I'm having a heck of a time finding tabs for it that make work for me. There are a bunch of different versions, I guess for different keys.

I was just wondering if someone has a pretty simple, but good sounding chord progression for the song. And if you have a little extra time and want to explain the strumming, I'd love that too.

I apologize in advance if anyone thinks this is too simple, but hey, that means I'm asking little! :)

Thanks so much!!

ill help you out so your not the only person to post in your topic.

i thought this song was all acapella? i didnt think there were any instruments
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

You are correct, but I'd imagine it could be played on guitar anyway.

yeah but then there would be no correct strumming pattern

A base line would add to the song.. experiment with the low E and A definately
