I Wanna Come Over Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my I Wanna Come Over Chord Chart by Melissa Etheridge. This is such a great song and I used to love performing it live with my band.

This is a more intermediate songs because of the use of barre chords and more intricate strumming patterns, but it a super fun song to play.

If you are looking to learn how to play most intricate rhythms check out my INTERMEDIATE STRUMMING COURSE.
