as I said in another post I still struggle a bit with barre chords, anyway if you can play barre there are some alternatives:

a) first play all with power chords, the sound it becomes a bit harder but it's not a slow ballad so the result is not bad
b) play some chord inversions: i.e. if you strum only the first three strings, you can play F# as a D chord on the sixth fret, for the Gm you can press the first three strings at the fird fret (333xxx), for C#m play like this

345xxx

while for the B

2444xx

B ....stands for bugger chord for beginners to play

I won't mention what F stands for { FMaj7 } I can play that one]]> Easy Songs BarnaBus RoX https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ccr-someday-never-comes/#post-217245 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ccr-someday-never-comes/#post-22827 Wed, 27 Dec 2006 19:14:43 +0000 http://www.creedence-online.net/all_in_one.php, here we go with the song.

Chords: well they're not so easy as they include a few bar chords, also in the last verse the song changes key, a typical John Fogerty's trick like in Lodi or Lookin on my back door, anyway it is well worth trying them. If you play barre maybe it is easier to play them all on sixth string (except if you have a classical guitar like me where it is difficult to play chords after the sixth fret). If you can not play a full barre, just strum the first three strings with the chord inversion (check David Hodge lesson Movin on as a reference for chord inversion).

Time signature and Chord changes: 4/4 and all chords change each and every measure except where notated

Strumming pattern: go with the classic D/du/u/du or also D/d/du/du

Bpm: never checked but at least 120-130 bpm

Ok enough talking let me know any mistakes
