Green Green Grass

How to play Green Green Grass by George Ezra on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play G, Em, C, D, E, A and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This is a bright, upbeat song that feels easy to enjoy once you lock into the groove. You get a steady, feel-good pulse at about 120 BPM, so it is a great choice if you want something energetic without feeling frantic.

Most of the chart uses barre shapes, with F as the main open chord to give your hand a brief break. The opening move G# - Fm - G# - C# is the change to watch closely, since it asks you to move cleanly between two shapes that sit near each other but still need accuracy.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly and evenly until the switches feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chords in small loops, keeping your fretting hand relaxed. Once the changes are smooth, bring the tempo up little by little until you can play it through confidently.

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.
