How to play As It Was by Harry Styles on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play G, C, Am, D, A, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: A, E, Bm and D. It also catches B in passing, and you can leave those out at first. Bm is a barre chord. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is Bm to E, 13 times in the chart, so practise that one first.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
