Crying City - Urn

How to play Crying City - Urn by Chill Only on guitar

Crying City - Urn is a good beginner tune to learn because the progression is simple, steady, and easy to loop once you get the feel of it. It sits in a relaxed, driving groove at about 120 BPM, so you can focus on clean changes and keeping the pulse even.

Most of the song uses open shapes, which makes it friendly on the fretting hand. The main thing to watch is the move between F and Dm and then over to G, since that shift can feel a little awkward at first. If your chart brings in C#m or C#, treat those as the harder barre shapes and give them extra attention.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly: F - Dm - G - F. Once the changes feel smooth, add the rest of the chords in the same steady rhythm and only then bring the tempo up. Keep your strums light and consistent, and build speed by repeating short sections until they feel automatic.

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.
