Sunday Morning

How to play Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 on guitar

Sunday Morning is a great beginner song to learn because it moves at a relaxed pace and feels smooth and upbeat under your fingers. You get a steady, laid-back groove that makes it easy to focus on clean changes and timing instead of speed.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, so you can stay comfortable with familiar fingerings on G, Dm, D, C, A, Em, and F. The harder shape is Cm, so watch for that switch when it appears and give yourself a little extra time to land it cleanly. The opening move G - Dm - D - Dm is a good place to lock in your transitions.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the open shapes in short sections, and only bring in Cm once the easier chords are steady. When it feels smooth at a slow tempo, gradually work toward full speed.

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.
