How Far I'll Go Chords & Guitar Lesson
Here is my How Far I'll Go chord chart from the hit movie Moana. What a catchy little song this is. Very fun to play and sing. This song is fairly simple up until the very last chorus where there is a key change. The whole song moves up a half step so that means all the chords move up a half step (one note) as well. Unfortunately, this ends up making the last chorus all barre chords.
You can skip the key change if you would like and play and sing it like the regular chorus but it won't sound exactly like the original song.
Capo is on the 4th fret for this song.

How Far I'll Go Strumming Patterns:
You can strum or pick the intro depending on the feel you are going for. I am putting a strumming pattern here which are a bit complicated if you dont' know 16th note strumming yet. Per usual, 4 down works fine or you could use the easy strum. The verse strumming lines up pretty with the timing of the lyrics so just you can use that as a guide.
Easier Strumming:
1 2 3+ 4 +
D D DU D U
Verse Strumming:
1 + a 2 + 3 e + 4 e + a
D U D U DU DU
Pre-Chorus Strumming: (palm muted if possible)
1 + 2+ 3+ 4 +
DD DD DD DD
Chorus Strumming:
1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 e + a
