Kansas City Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Kansas City chord chart by Fats Domino. This is a a great beginner songs and is played using a 12-Bar blues pattern. So one you play through 12 bars or measures of music, you play the pattern all over again from the beginning. This song only uses three chords: A, D and E.

That's what makes this song such a great beginner guitar song. As with all song, beginner can use 4 down strums or the strumming pattern below.
