Learn Bigmouth Strikes Again by The Smiths 🎼 ⚫️ #thesmiths #learnguitar #guitarlesson

So, I know I've already done a quick tutorial on this Smiths song, but I don't think I included the bridge.

Support me and buy me a coffee:

This song look easy at first glance, but is actually quite difficult because of the strumming pattern. Especially if you want to sing at the same time. The singing is quite legato and smooth, whereas the strumming is quite fast. Best to practice it at a slower tempo with the strumming then slowly speed it up.

For the strumming, you have to get the hang of Down, Down, Up, Down, Down Up.

It's also a surprisingly short song, so just persevere for the first verse and you're halfway there.

Capo on the 4th Fret

Lyrics:

Sweetness
Sweetness, I was only joking when I said
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head

Oh sweetness
Sweetness, I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place with the human race
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place with the human race
