Hello friends,
and welcome back to Swiftlessons for another by request song tutorial. In today's session I'm breaking down a fairly beginner friendly song in John Denver's 1971 classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads." I'll take you through the chord progressions and strumming patterns for the verse, chorus and bridge sections. Let's get started!

Sounds good. But aren’t those chords wrong for the song?
It starts with G major chord with capo on 2nd fret.
