Talking About A Revolution Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to the Talking About A Revolution guitar chord chart by Tracy Chapman. Very nice song and I love it because it simple chords. G, Em, C and D. Now you will Cadd9 but you can easily play a regular C chord. So don’t worry too much about that. Easy strumming would be to do 2 down strums per chord. The strumming pattern below has more of a hope to it and make the song a little trickier. The hop occurs because the second chord changes on the up strum instead of the down strum.
