Good Luck, Babe!

How to play Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play F, G, C, Am, Dm, D and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Good Luck, Babe! is a strong pick if you want a modern pop song that feels direct and energetic to play. At about 120 BPM, it moves with a steady push that keeps your strumming hand busy without feeling rushed. You get a satisfying, singable progression that makes the song feel immediate from the first bars.

Most of the chart sits on open shapes like G, A, D, Em, and E, but the harder barre shapes Bm, C#, and A#m will test your fretting hand. The main change to watch is the opening move from G to A to D to Bm, since that shift into Bm can slow you down if you are not ready for it.

Start by looping G - A - D - Bm slowly until the change feels clean, then add the other open shapes from the chart. Keep your strumming even and light, and only speed up once the barre shapes land without buzzing. When the progression feels automatic, play along with the track to lock in the timing.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
