Today was a fairytale Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Today Was A Fairytale Chord Chart by Taylor Swift. Very fun song to play on the guitar. I like that it's mostly the same 4 easy chord over and over again. Can't go wrong with a good old pop tune for getting your guitar chords situated. There are variations of the C chord (Cadd9), the D chord (Dsus4) and the Em chord (Em7). If you don't know these chords, no worries. Just use the regular open chords to play along with.
Let's go over a few different strumming options that would work for playing along. Each chord is two beats except for the part where the lyrics go "Time slows down whenever you're around".
