When I’m 64 Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to When I’m 64 Chord Chart by The Beatles. One of my Lifetime members in my course requested this song for his wife’s 64th birthday.
This song isn’t the easier song in the world to play and that’s mainly due to the barre chords F and Fm. But of course, if you are part of my course you know the easy fixes to those chords, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
We also use a wide variety of chords in this song which adds a little bit to the difficulty level. We will be using C, G, C7, F, Fm, A, D, G7, Am, E and D7. Phew!
Leave it to the Beatles to be all over the place. So let’s see how we are going to approach this song strumming wise.
