CWhere secretFs lie iCn the border Ffires

FIn the humming wires

FHey man you know

FYou're neverC coming back

CPast the square past the bridge

FOn a gathering storm comes

FA tCall handsome man

In a dusAmty black coat with

How to play Pete Yorn by Pete Yorn on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a steady groove and lets you focus on clean changes rather than flashy technique. At about 120 BPM, it feels direct and driving, so you can build confidence while keeping the rhythm moving.

You’ll spend most of your time on open shapes like F, Dm, C, and Am, with A# and Gm as the harder barre shapes. The main thing to watch is the back-and-forth between F and Dm in the opening progression - that change sets the feel and needs to stay smooth.

Start by looping F - Dm - F - Dm slowly until the switch feels automatic. Then add the other shapes one at a time, keeping your hand relaxed and your changes clean. Once the chords are solid, bring the tempo up gradually and aim for even, steady strumming.

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.
