How to play We Are The People by Empire of the Sun on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play Am, G, Em, F, D, E, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: Em, C, Bm and D. It also catches A and B in passing, and you can leave those out at first. Bm is a barre chord. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is C to Em, 21 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.
