Take Me Home Tonight/Be My Baby ft. Ronnie Spector

How to play Take Me Home Tonight/Be My Baby ft. Ronnie Spector by Eddie Money on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play F, G, Am, C, Dm, A, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a fun one to learn because it moves with a bright, upbeat feel and a strong singalong groove. You get a classic pop-rock sound that feels lively right away, and it is satisfying even at a beginner level.

The chord shapes are all barre shapes here, so you will want to focus on clean fretting and steady pressure. The opening move F# - G# - A#m - F# is the main shape change to watch, since it asks you to shift smoothly without losing the rhythm.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly until your fingers land cleanly. Then add the rest of the chord changes one at a time, keeping the pulse even. Once the shapes feel comfortable, bring it up to tempo and aim for relaxed, consistent changes.

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.
