How to play STAY by The Kid Laroi on guitar

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

STAY is a great beginner pick because it moves fast enough to feel modern, but the harmony stays clear and repetitive. You get a strong pop groove without needing a lot of fancy technique, so it feels good once the changes start to lock in.

You can lean on the open F shape where it appears, but most of the song uses barre shapes: Fm, F#, G#, A#m, and C#. The main change to watch is the opening run Fm - F# - G# - A#m, since it moves step by step and can make your hand feel rushed if you do not stay relaxed.

Start by looping just Fm - F# - G# - A#m slowly until the shapes feel smooth, then add the open F when it comes up. After that, practice with a steady count at about 120 BPM and only speed up when each change lands cleanly.

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.
