Here Comes the Sun
The Beatles
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright
Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright
Little darlin', the smile's returning to their faces
Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun
It's alright
It's alright

How to play Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles on guitar
Here Comes the Sun is a bright, uplifting song that feels great once you lock into the flow. You get a clean, familiar acoustic sound, and the fast tempo gives it a lively, forward-moving feel without being too heavy.
You can lean on the open shapes A, Dm, E, D, Am, and G, but the B and C#m shapes will ask for more hand strength and accuracy. The main change to watch is the move from A to B and back again, since that shift can slow you down if your fingers are not set early.
Start by looping the opening progression A - B - A - Dm slowly until the changes feel smooth. Then add the rest of the song in small sections, keeping your chord switches relaxed. Once the shapes are clean, bring it up to tempo and focus on staying even through the quicker changes.
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.
