Oh Darling Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Oh Darling chord chart by The Beatles. You know me, I love the Beatles and that because they can teach do many cool things to beginner guitar players.

In this song, we are going to be working on Oh Darling which take place in 6/8 time meaning we will be counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 over and over again.

The strumming pattern for this song will be very easy. All down strums accenting 1 and 4. The chords on the other hand do require some knowledge of bar chords. You can always check out my easy fixes to bar chords for beginners. If you can’t play the Bb at the very end. Don’t worry, just end on A7.

Let’s get started with the guitar lesson!
