Sunday Morning

How to play Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 on guitar

Sunday Morning is a smooth, upbeat song that feels relaxed but still keeps your hands moving. You get a steady pop groove that is fun to lock into, and the chord changes give you a nice sense of flow once you settle in.

Most of the chart uses open shapes like G, C, Dm, Em, and F, so it is friendly to learn at first. The harder shapes are Fm and C#m, so pay extra attention if those appear. The change to watch most is the opening move from G to C to Dm back to G, since that shift sets the feel right away.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until your fingers land cleanly. Then add the rest of the open shapes and make each change without stopping. Once that feels solid, bring it up toward tempo and only then work on the barre shapes if they show up in your version.

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.
