GStill Cbugs me Fnow
FThat's the thing, it Clingers

How to play Seventeen Going Under (Edit) by Sam Fender on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play C, Am, G, F, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: C#, G#, F# and A#m. All of them are usually barre chords, so check whether a capo gives you easier shapes. The change you will play most is F# to C#, 17 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.
