Chords for Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol // Guitar Tutorial

_ _ Hi!
[Bbm] Today we are going to be learning Chasing Cars by Snow [Gb] Patrol.
Snow Patrol?
Yes.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ All I [Bbm] got is summertime, _ [Gb] _
_ running [Ab] through my mind. _ _
All I got [Bb] is summertime, _ _ [Gb] _
running [Ab] through my mind.
[Bb] Alright, so we're going to go ahead and jump into the chords.
There's a trash guy again in [Gm] every video.
Wait, is he coming this way?
He's going.
[N] He's coming our way! _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] Wait, it's chasing cars, not garbage cars.
Alright, getting into the chords here, it's super easy.
We only have three of them, and guess what?
They're all open.
All open.
Isn't that amazing?
[Gbm] So our first chord here [Bb] is going to be an A major.
[A] _ _ _ And then our next chord [Bb] is going to be an E major.
[E] Let me see that guitar goddess' chords drum.
Hold your goblet of rock.
[D] _ And our last chord is a D major, just like Jesse did.
And you have to let it ring and just enjoy the chord.
_ [Bb] Alright, Jesse, why don't you go ahead and teach the strumming.
Strumming is super easy on this song.
You're just going to start on the A chord, and it's really just going to be all down strums.
With a little bit of a palm [A] mute.
_ _ _ And to the E [E] chord, _ _ and to the D [D] chord.
And what I really like about this is that you can really control the palm muting.
You can [A] kind of make it really soft, you know?
And then you can build it up. E [E] major. _ _
_ Soft E [D] major. _ _ _
Back to the A major.
[A] It's really cool.
And that's it.
[Gb] Hey!
_ [G] You're famous on YouTube.
Have a great day at [Ab] the beach!
See ya.
[A] Enjoy.
By the way, there's this little lead line that this song does.
If you want to learn this, you [E] can check it out on the video description link below.
Or you can just like, maybe I'll put a [Gbm] link by Jesse.
Yeah, you can click the link if you're under confusion.
Yeah, his guitar, you can click on [A] it.
I'll go ahead and like_
It's super simple.
I'm going to join him with the strumming here. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ So if you have a friend that plays guitar, [A] you can just grab him.
And you can each play, you know, each part.
Really easy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Play here.
_ Would you [D] laugh with me?
And just forget [A] me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let's waste time.
[E] _ _ _ Chasing [D] cars.
Or garbage trucks.
Or garbage trucks.
If you [Bb] want a second type of really amped up [A] chord progression,
you can do a down, down, up, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up, up.
Up, [E] E, down, up, down, down, up, up, [D] down, up, B, up, up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down, [A] up.
And while she's doing that, I can do the little chunk, you [E] know, down.
_ _ _ I moved too quickly for [D] you.
It does hold on the A a little longer, though.
Yeah, it does.
[A] Don't forget that like I just did.
It might be a little [Am] embarrassing.
Alright, guys, [Cm] so that is how you play Chasing Cars by Snow [F] Patrol.

Yes, let's go chase some [C] cars.
Let's go waste time chasing cars.
_ _ _ [F] Alright, so getting into chords here, we [G] have_ _ _
Sorry, I'm like staring [Dm] at you.
You're not used to a human staring [F] at you.
I'm used to being in a video of another [F] human.
[G]
Oh, sorry.
I have to do it again.
