How to play chords in "Hanson" songs as a beginner?

Practicing Hanson’s songs on guitar is a great way for beginners to get comfortable with strumming and open chords. The band’s music often features catchy melodies and straightforward chord progressions, making it accessible and fun to learn.

Guitar chords for beginners: Hanson

"MMMBop," Hanson’s most famous hit, is an excellent song for beginners. The song revolves around simple open chords like G, C, D. The strumming pattern is upbeat and repetitive, which is perfect for practicing rhythm and keeping a steady tempo. Start with a basic down-up strumming pattern, gradually adding dynamics as you gain confidence.

"If Only" is another great choice for beginners. It uses chords like G, D, A, Bm and Em7. The moderate tempo and easy-to-follow rhythm allow you to focus on smooth chord transitions and strumming consistency.

For a slower, more melodic practice, "This Time Around" offers a gentle strumming pattern using chords like G, F, C, Am and D major. This song provides a good opportunity to work on expressive playing and timing.

Hanson’s music, with its simple structures and engaging rhythms, is ideal for beginners looking to improve their strumming technique and master basic open chords while enjoying catchy, feel-good tunes.

Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons a blazing shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I die
F  C  G...
You can't say I didn't give it

I won't wait another minute

            C                  Am

Isn't it weird. Isn't it strange.
          Em                                                     F

Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train
                                C                        Am

We're both trying to find a place in the sun
                               F         Am               F

We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone
            Am                            F                                 C

Isn't it strange how we all feel   just a little bit weird sometimes
C  Am  Em  F...

Isn't it hard. Standing in the rain.
You're on the verge of going crazy and your heart's in pain
No one can hear though you're screaming so loud
You feel all alone in a faceless crowd
Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes.
F                                                                                     C

Sitting on the side waiting for a sign, hoping that my luck will change.
F                                                                    C

Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
F                                                                                           C

When you live in a cookie cutter world being different is a sin.
                        F                           Am                            C-Am-F

So you don't stand out. But you don't fit in. Weird.   Whoa oh
F  C...

Sitting on the side waiting for a sign, hoping that my luck will change.
Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
When you live in a cookie cutter world if you're different you can't win.
So you don't stand out but you don't fit in. Weird.
            Am                 F            C

Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird
Am                    F           C

Strange, how we all get a little bit...
Am                           F                                   C

Strange, 'cause we're all just a little bit weird sometimes.
