I Saw Her Standing There Chords & Guitar Lesson
This is my Saw Her Standing There guitar chord chart by The Beatles. You may or may not know that I am a huge Beatles fan. Probably because my mom was, but this song is a fantastic way to introduce yourself to some simple 7 chords. Now if you do not know your 7 chords yet, that's perfectly fine because you can just use your normal open chords. What do I mean by that?
If you see A7, just play and A chord. If you see E7, play and E chord, etc. Also, if you are not to good with barre chords yet, you can exchange the dreaded F chord barre chord for a simpler chord called Fmaj7 which looks almost exactly like a chord chord just play on a couple different strings.
This version is in the Key of A.
