Beginner Guitar: Blitzkieg Bop Made Simple

Mar 18th, 2009 | By Project-D | Category: Guitar Chords

Here’s some easy guitar music for you if you’re trying to learn guitar.  Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones is fast, but as far as guitar chords go not too hard if you change the chord shapes. Looking at some Ramones videos you can see that Johnny Ramones hand is the the major barre chord shape, the barre chords is not the easiest thing for a beginner.  Fortunately you can use your easy open chord shapes and it will sound pretty good.  So here’s the song:

Blitzkrieg Bop, Verse

A                                                             D E

They’re forming in a straight line

                                                                D E

They’re going through a tight one

A                                                                               A   D   A

The kids are losing their minds, Blitzkrieg Bop

The tabs on Ultimate Guitar have gotten this part wrong there’s a “B” chord in there. You can actually play a power chord there, on the 5th string, 2nd fret.  I’ll put the alternate chords in parenthesis, so you can either leave them out or substitute them.

Chorus

D                           

Hey Ho, let’s go

A                                   (D)  A

Shoot’em back now

D           

What they want I don’t know

                 B(D)                             D            E

They’re all revved up and ready to go.

 

The intro is the same as the verse, those are really the only two parts in the whole song.
