Weezer’s sunny, feel-good hit is one of the easiest rock songs to learn. The four-chord pattern repeats throughout with a relaxed, beach-day vibe.

Tip: This is a perfect beginner song. All four chords are open position and the pattern never changes. Keep the strumming relaxed and let the sunny feel carry the song.
