Here Comes the Sun

How to play Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play D, G, E, Em, A, C and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This is a bright, uplifting song that feels great once you lock into its steady movement. You get a classic Beatles sound with a cheerful lift, and it is satisfying because the harmony keeps pulling forward without feeling rushed.

You can lean on the open shapes A, D, and E for much of the part, with G and Em available if your chart shows them. The harder shapes are B and Bm, so watch the change into B in the opening progression A - D - B - A, since that shift is the one most likely to slow you down.

Start by looping just A - D - B - A until the move into B feels clean, then add the rest of the song in small sections. Practice slowly with clear chord changes first, then bring it up to tempo once your hands know the shape order.

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.
