How to play Leather by Cody Johnson on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play C, F, Am, G, Dm, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has five main chords: F, A#, C, Dm and Gm. A# and Gm are barre chords. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is A# to F, 9 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.
