Bye Bye Love Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Bye Bye Love chords chart by The Everly Brothers. Bye Bye Love is a super fun guitar song focusing mainly on the A, D and E chords.

Now the intro I would probably play as power chords A5 C5 and D5, but if you don’t know power chords, playing regular chord will work just fine as well.

Every once in a while you here some high notes on the strumming. I believe this sound is made from playing an A major barre chord and strumming the lower strings of the chord. Again, if you don’t know barre chords, don’t worry about it for now. In case you were curious how to do that, that how you would get that sound.

The intro starts on the second measure and then goes into a round.
