This will be your last song of the term before rehearsals begin for the main event on 3rd July over at Sefton park Cricket club. More about that below. 

For now download the song sheet for SONGBIRD by Oasis (who play it in the key of G - but you will play it in the key of C) and check out the chords, strumming pattern and chord structure below.

CHORDS & STRUMMING PATTERN

This entire song contains just two chords, C and Am and can be played with the same simple rhythm played with Anyone Else But You throughout.

SONG STRUCTURE

Apart from the intro section, which contains just two bars of C, each other section of the entire song is made up of an 8 bar pattern consisting of 4 consecutive C chords, followed by 8 Am chords using the strumming pattern above, as follows:

AUDIO - TRAINING

Have a listen to the track and pay attention as to where the vocals come in as they are not on beat one as you might expect! The chords look a bit random across the song sheet, but if you stick to this 8 bar pattern after the intro, you will hit all the right chords in the right place!
