Beginner chord progressions – lesson 9

In the ninth part of the lesson series on beginner level it's time to play something that remains of a whole song with verse and chorus parts. As a theoretical digression it can be pointed out that the chorus in the example starts with the IV chord in the key, which is a common procedure in songs. This knowledge can help the memorizing of chord progressions in songs.
